so what if the guy is using your web server and his mailer attempts a mail
transfer? that won't work if you block in the firewall based on IP only... it
would seem to be better for the application to reject multiple connections from
the same mailer... binkleyterm, frontdoor, binkd and other mailers certainly do
this with their busy semaphores... if the semaphore already exists and isn't
too old (if they have an option for semaphore age), they will reject the
incoming connection with something like "BUSY" or "No servers available"...

Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it
wrong...
