If you use Linux you can use netfilter (iptables) mark feature to track individual connections from a given IP, and above a threshold you can shape the bandwitdh based on those iptables mark. For example, if an IMAP connection from ip X exceed 100 megabytes of data, bandwitdh for that ip would be limited to 100 KB/sec (or whatever number). First 100 megabytes, top speed, above that they get slower. 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
Not true. You set a connection tracking using ip+port, not only IP.
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
Original post talked about "unbearable server load". Shapping network traffic will definitely help with that.
