This is true, however, just like David said, they hammer on the machine. I
currently drop connection if found in a blacklist (dns/local). I need to
change this policy as I no longer like it. However, I did this same thing
yesterday to a host that hammered on my machine and was in a blacklist. The
only reason I do this is to keep the logging down in the rejected log. It's
hard enough to look through the log and see someone hammering.
