What we found 20+ years ago when we started to provide a very poor service to attempted spam delivery was that the spammers realised our servers were very 'slow' and stopped the attempts. We used to get 1000s of new IPV4 tuples / day, now we get < 10. If you put the inbound SMTP sessions to sleep this is wrecking the spammers bus. model, they need to deliver 1,000,000,000+ / day. Don't u fell sorry 4 them. The only time we don't tuck them in 4 a snooze is if they are in a 3rd party BL !!!
