mmh.. it could go either way.  If the delays keep spam out and lessen
the cleanup within the network caused by zombies, it may be a bigger win
to throw more SMTP servers in the mix so enforcing the delays don't
decrease overall throughput.

I would love to see a more realistic statistic of what's out there and 
what is the worst it can get.
