if you can't find the docs that others have read, and still accuse them
of lack of research, there is a word for this: ridiculous.
I can't research it further without getting the product here to test,
and I'm not suggesting that everyone do this -- just that everyone
read the information available.
before suggesting what others should do, try improving your search and
navigation skills. (I am serious here. I am sure you will thank me in
few years).
Moreover BMX can do quite a lot of what you describe without having
to slow down the TCP channel too much thereby freeing up ressources.
But honestly I do not think this leads to anything.
Look at testing results. Try it out.
It's on the pile. as soon as I finish testing the pills and the
diplomas, I'll get my lottery gains, and I'll try your product :)
It's been 99% effective against the botnets on a test system I enabled.
99%? numbers out of context are only useful for politicians and
marketers. Both have no (good) place on this list.

Please stop pissing on the carpet :)

But please do not accuse me or others of not doing research if you
are not sure. I did quite a bit of research and even asked for more
information (which has not been provided yet). I have not said "it
lacks feature x" while you incorrectly claim lacking "features" of
other products.
People said specifically that mailchannels was doing "nothing more
than qmail does" which is clearly not true with even some basic
reading. This clearly indicates a lack of research.
who ever spoke of qmail here?
I accept your accusation about my research IF you can please point me
to a document on FSL's website which addresses slowing down TCP
sessions. I can't find it.
and this is the guy who is trying to teach me research?
- try searching their web site for a document that contains this:
"MailChannels has developped ... SLOW email traffic ..."
on their site. (the capitals in "SLOW" are mine).
- try searching for the 2007 MIT conference paper by Ken Thomson. I
don't know if you can still access it for free. but if you're serious
about research, you can order the proceedings.
- try getting a friend to read this for you:
http://blog.mailchannels.com/2008/02/spammers-are-less-patient-than.html
- or maybe you'll have more chances with

on some pages cited above, you may need to scroll to the bottom. if you
don't know what scroll means, try asking your friends and family
