Simple to solve. Tar-pit him. Make sure that you always
take the full five minutes to respond to each command, and slow him

don't give him a 5xx response on connect, wait for the "RCPT TO"
before you do that, to help slow him down even more. If he tries to
connect to you multiple times in parallel, tar-pit all connections
from him.
Then you enter into an interesting resource battle. Who has more
resources that they can afford to keep around doing nothing? That's
a dangerous game to play. But in any case, my mail server doesn't
support it.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
