So the server would determine if you are close to hitting some rate or bandwidth limit and will tell you to slow down? What if the bottleneck is between the recipient's server and the recipient's client (e.g., I am on a fat pipe and you are on a mobile connection)? Then perhaps it is the recipient's client that would want to tell the sender's client to slow down. Peter -- Peter Saint-Andre https://stpeter.im/
