Ah ha, I got you guys thinking. how's it feel? ;)

But seriously. My investigations into this matter have yielded almost
nothing. I believe that this type of throttling/rate limiting/whatever
is done on a regular basis, but I'd like to find out more about it,
where and how it is used, and how I might start doing this.

I'm also trying to think of ways that ISPs prevent their users from
"accidentally" getting the ISPs on RBLs. Do they use a throttling
method such as what we've talked about? Content checks? Monkeys
reading messages one by one? Any feedback into that one would be
greatly appreciated, as well.

Thanks
