The above (wrongly described and detailed as "iplimit" in the latest HOWTO) still "does not work for me", whilst I actually find it very important for easy traffic shaping; in my case, client Internet MTAs. Is anyone on the list familiar with this patch, or have I to contact Gerd Knorr directly? (Me, I get poisoned by having list people contact me directly, so I'd rather keep it to the list).
