...by deprioritizing clients using a username + password.

As IMAP provides AUTH=ANONYMOUS for designating anonymous
access, we'll rely on it as a heuristic for favoring "good"
clients.  Clients using a username + password seem to (more

belong in public inboxes.

This copies the technique used by WWW + -httpd to deprioritize
expensive mbox.gz downloads.
