64000 _BYTES_ in squid remember. Is that 512k BYTES or BITS on the line?

They both are. Pool #1 is cutting it down to just under 16KBps up + down
per IP. Pool #2 is limiting it to just under 50KB up+down per /24 network.

Email should not be more critical than we browsing. Email delays of
hours are rarely noticed by the users whereas a 15sec delay in page load
gets web a bad rating.

No should just be able to set

delay_access 1 deny directors_group
delay_access 2 deny directors_group

See my reply to J.Peng a day or so ago about delay_pools for more
