Several related articles in re the energy consumption of spam, and the
economic/energy returns earned by countering it effectively:

Hardly as scientific, but Exim with tightened rDNS filtering et al has
allowed us to drop from Core-2 Duo 3 GHz to VIA C3/C7 at a mere fraction

YMMV, but what works here is to reject it early, not analyze and 'play'
with it.
