The problem is the cost of opening/closing the connection - that is a
pretty heavy penalty. I'd be more like to just route the bits to the
great bucket in the sky.
On the other hand, if your MTA *MERELY PRETENDS* to open a connection
(i.e. send back SYN-ACK without actually opening a connection) most
spammers will pipeline everything else through without waiting for
further responses. They *HAVE* to do this to protect against
teergrubes.
