I once had an idea (never implemented) of keeping track of
unauthorised relay attempts using an embedded perl lookup for
prohibition_message, backed by a database of offending IPs. The
intention was to generate progressively stronger worded responses.
Using this technique for rbl_reject it would be trivial to introduce
increasing amounts of sleep() in the perl interface to give the
desired effect.
