I think it's possible. There is a ftp-helper for iptables that can mark = all=20 ftp-data because it's smart enough to recoginise the ftp-data path. You = can=20 do the same : write a helper that can read the data-stream and that can=20 recognize for instance the attachements of emails. Once you can do this,= you=20 can mark these packets and shape them. I don't know if this is possible, I'm not a kernel/iptabes guru, but the= re=20 are other people on this list that can say "Stef, you are stupid" or "hey= , I=20 will write this for you" ;-) Anyway, it's not possible with the tools we have right now.
