That reminds me of this one:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92072
IIRC courier allows max 4 connections from any one IP,
and max of 40 in total. These are easily configured.

Changing priority of a process

The nice value (-20 to 19) represents the priority of a process.
The lower the value, the higher the priority. On a multi user
system consider running non interactive processes like:
   nice low_priority_command
You can retroactively give a process less priority like:
   renice 20 low_priority_pid
Root can give processes more priority.
