Folks have talked about a possible STMP extension to allow message body

erm, headers have come first since 1981, and if you don't like them
you can pass the connection off to a very lightweight thread that
sleeps between collecting single lines and eventually issues a rejection.
Seige tactics.
The qsmtpd list has had much discussion of the "spamcannibal" approach
in which your MTA informs your firewall to drop a random half of the
packets arriving on this eschewed connection.
Advenge does a magic phrase check on the headers as soon as they are
all in.
