	What I've run into is that due to the high chance of clones on
nameserver and mail machines having to use a k-line to block those.  In
some cases this k-line blocks totally valid connections.  So looking at
something like:

Y:10:90::100:512000:0.2:0.3

(that looks almost exactly right actually).  Does that make sense.  Each
unique user@host (per I: line) would have at most 2 connections locally,
and 3 globaly.  Think that's what I want.
