I do not think this should be the right way ....
if you refuse :
you risk to refuse legitimate mail
what if go to a secondary mx ?
the idea of the tarpit is nice. This way you do not spill your load to
the secondary mx ... and no risks.
It should be nice (althought i think harder) to decide if it is spam ir
not during the actual message.
If the first 5 lines are suspect the connection is slowed on the fly
.... and the server address added to thge brownlist ....
