I'll provide a use case for for this bug, which I haven't previously, for
future reference in case it is ever reviewed, or maybe there's a better way
of doing what I would like (or maybe I'm just wrong).

The reason for the bug is that I would like to give outgoing email (ie to a
remote port 25) a lower priority than other traffic, while not affecting the
command responses to incoming mail (ie traffic from local port 25). This
should mean that my mail server appears responsive by quickly sending small
command responses to servers trying to send me mail, but that potentially
large outgoing emails shouldn't hog my ADSL connection which has relatively
small upstream bandwidth.

As I mentioned in another email, the other method for configuring traffic
shaping appears to be excessively complicated for my needs.

Thanks,

Roger
