Also the problems I can see when you block on connect is that you can
never guess if the mail was a legitimate or not because the only data
you've got is the IP of the sender. You never know for sure it's a
zombie and if it's not, you have no way guessing and the sender has no
means to know why you are unreachable because the sender MTA doesn't
report the error correctly or in a meaningful way.
