Saw this in the blackmail docs:

Miguel Cruz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> suggested:

  Reminds me, has there been any thought of adding teergrube powers to
  Blackmail?

  (for the uninitiated, that would have it slow the session down when it
  detects incoming spam. Each line of response from the SMTP server would
  take an hour or so. This ties up resources on the spamming machine - in
  the case of a single-threaded spew program, it would put an effective halt
  to the whole thing. One person reported keeping a single incoming spam
  connection open for two days using teergrube. If enough people do it,
  then spamming would become much more complicated - either they set
  timeouts so aggressive that they can't deliver to popular, burdened
  sites, or they spin to a halt every time they hit a booby-trapped site).


seems like a good idea!
