confirmed that i see a increase in "HELO Invalid:", can't tell the cause. 
Maybe you're right about delaying. But i don't see that as a problem, helo 
checks are fast pre-data checks. More spam you stop with helo checks, less 
spam you have to process at a later phase.

confirmed that too. I got i higher count of "Messages Processed:" per day 
since when i switched to 1.2.7 . Can't tell if the cause is related to 
delaying. Maybe spammers are working harder these days. Maybe it's just a 
change in process order. It makes sense to me that helo checks come before 
delaying (i think it's faster to process, and it's not logic to delay a 
connection via a 4xx when you can simply deny it via a 5xx).

but only fritz can tell what's happening under the hood
