I often see over a single smtp session some joker try to sent to 20-50
different addresses (all rejected of course) then rudely disconnect.
I'm wondering if there is a counterpart to smtp_accept_max (like
smtp_reject_max?) that would boot them after rejecting N number of
delivery attempts. I'd probably want to set it at 3 or 5.
Is this RFC compliant? Maybe a item for the wishlist.
