Oops... I meant to say 'message in an accept statement'. Any way to tell the
connected host some information while I am tarpitting it while accepting the
mail? Message = in a deny works fine.

I'd see it as a 'soft block' for hosts on a dynhost DNS list for example, and it
would be nice if someone who was running a legitimate mailing list from such a
connection could understand what was going on.
