Felix commented on JAMES-4208:
------------------------------

Oops, didn't see your linagora ticket...

Maybe I misunderstood some of the code and connection limits actually do work. 
Because the LMTPServer does not overwrite `createPipelineFactory`, it probably 
does not have to configure connection limits as the default implementation of 
`AbstractConfigurableAsyncServer` looks like it does the thing.

I compared LMTP's implementation to IMAP which overwrites 
`createPipelineFactory` to add its command throttler. IMAP then seems to 
reimplement all of the default behavior again itself but that is probably not 
required for the LMTPServer.

I guess this can be closed after 
[https://github.com/apache/james-project/pull/3043] has been merged.

> Currently, the LMTP server has very few features. It does not support 
> proxies, TLS, or connection limits.
> This is the case although it inherits from AbstractProtocolAsyncServer which 
> inherits from AbstractConfigurableAsyncServer which already reads all 
> relevant configurations. They would only need to be used in `LMTPServer`.
> As you can see

>  some functionality is deliberately disabled.
> Benoit said in [this 
> MR|https://github.com/apache/james-project/pull/3040#discussion_r3248188811] 
> that this could be changed.
> As we do not use James LMTP, I will not have time to work on this but just 
> wanted to officially track this instead of leaving it as a MR comment.
