   There is not really any way you can stop a client from trying to connect as   
   often as they want to your server unless you ban them at the network level.   
      
   Mystic can automatically ban an IP after a certain number of attempts within a   
   time window, but that still doesn't stop them from connecting it will just   
   refuse to service them.   
      
   I suppose I could add a specific feature to BINKP server that gives them an   
   "BUSY" with a message that they can only connect X many times per Y seconds. If   
   they are within those limits it would give them mail, if they were not within   
   those limits it would give them a message and disconnect.   
      
   But I wonder if there is really a point to do that since at that point they're   
   already connected to you anyway.  I am open to suggestions as to whether or not   
   such a feature would be worth it.
