Re: IpRestrictor Component

Paul,

James doesn't have a similar component, and I'm not sure it really needs
one.  I guess you might want to block incoming mail from certain parts of
your network, but as it would be rather straightforward, I usually think of
this as an OS or network level issue.  Still, if it was easy to add and
configure, I doubt anyone would complain. :)

Serge,

Just thinking about this some more, I think it should be a 
ConnectionManager implementation - i.e. IPRestrictingConnectionManager. 
 That way it would be reusable to may server comps and be an assembler 
issue.
