I can't believe I didn't see this earlier. Oh, how sweet.
in /etc/pf.conf:
altq on $ext_if cbq queue { q_default q_web q_mail }
queue q_default cbq(default)
... queue q_web (not shown) ...
## all mail limited to 1Mb/sec
queue q_mail bandwidth 1Mb { q_mail_windows }
## windows mail limited to 56Kb/sec
queue q_mail_windows bandwidth 56Kb
...
pass in quick proto tcp from any os "Windows" to $ext_if port 25 keep state queue q_mail_windows
pass in quick proto tcp from any to $ext_if port 25 label "smtp" keep state queue q_mail
Mail coming from windows boxes (all flavors) compete for my virtual
56K line. All other mail can come in the fat pipe.
Already a huge difference in my load. Bwa ha ha.

Yeah, very elegant. Time to set up an OpenBSD box just for that.
Saw this before, just came over on Dave Farber's IP list: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
