> In order to prevent denial of service attacks, allow an administrator to configure JBMS to prevent more than X connections from a given ip address to SMTP and POP.  Thus a quick "connection refused" would be thrown if this were on and server 192.168.1.1 tried to open more than 1 connection if this were set to 1.  careful of under and over synchronization here.
