This will not really work. A spammer with half a brain will find an

sit on some clueless server in Korea or Greece rather than on the
spammer's system. So if you could get the reject-while-sendmail-
connection-is-open scheme to work, you'd be punishing clueless admins
in Korea or Greece, not the spammer.
However, better the clueless admin be punished than the spam victim. That just
means the spammer is beating up on the guy with the cluelessly left open relay
instead. At that point it's his problem if he's accepting mail, but can't
deliver it.

thinks of it as a sign of ill health but as proof of his/her strength."
