dont think this will work
tons of cons can come from a nat ip
so you would punish everyone behind that ip ,not only apple mail

i see no real solution for the problem, cause if the server works out
some slow down this would only lead to longer download times, but will
no solve the orig wanted task. It will all be workarounds for a "buggy"
client
