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.
Sure, but then we're back to my theory that DNS (and/or SMTP)
infrastructure would have to double as a result of publishing and
checking records.
Thanks for the confirmation :)
I would love to see a more realistic statistic of what's out there and
what is the worst it can get.
