connections originate from the same IP address as far as Courier is concerned, and there is no way to discriminate between different sending IP addresses -- and you are vulnerable to being bombed, unless your proxy has the ability to restrict the maximum number of open connections from the same source that it will forward.

Except from flooding, does the proxying through the same IP mean Courier will learn the IP "in the middle" as bad?

No -- as I said the tarpitting applies only to the connection that's causing errors. Other connections from the same IP address remain unaffected.
