Use "reject" instead of "drop". It'll help prevent woodpeckers hammering
away, as they're more likely to terminate their connection properly
instead of saying to themselves "oh, it failed and the connection went
away, I'll try again".

Unfortunately, having a spam/ham ratio of approaching 1% is common these
days. You need multi-layered filtering to make it go away.

I'll hazard a guess that the frozen messages are bounces which can't be
delivered, right?
