Subject: rate limiting popa3d

Dear all,

Lately, our popa3d based pop server suffers from people checking their
mail every 5 seconds. 
Is there a way to rate limit pop checking (based on username / time
period for example) with popa3d or should I use a proxy pop3 server for
this?
If someone has a patch for this, that would be very helpful.  

Cheers,

Wouter Callewaert
