Among the spammers rejected with delays, many do try a new transaction with

Maybe the spammers are trying to deal with greylisting?
For that matter, I wonder if legitimate senders are trying to deal with
greylisting also. Maybe there are poor implementations of greylisting that
block legitimate traffic too often. Maybe there are some large-volume senders
that don't want to deal with having greylisted mail in their queues any longer
than necessary. If retrying after a few seconds works on some greylists, it's
not surprising that some senders would start doing it.
