Hi,

Is there a way to limit incoming traffic (bandwidth) using
ipfilter/ipfw or any such software tool?. I am running a mail
server and I pay per GB transfered. If I have my ISP do the
limiting, they charge extra $$ for it. I know I can limit
incoming mail size via the mail server. But still doesn't
prevent someone from sending a lot of mail or fill up
a 100mbps line for 24 hrs/day.


I am not looking for a perfect solution, and I do realize
ddos attacks and such are still possible. I am only looking
for a reasonable solution.

Any help is appreciated
