I found the issue last night quiet late. Can kick myselft now. The problem
was that although I had put all the messages in incoming,deferred and active
on hold there was still about 30000 email in maildrop. So they were
constantly refreshing the incoming que making it look like the client was
still connected. I should have connected the dots. Thats why there was no
network traffic caught by iptables and why the postfix access entry didn't
work! Even netstat showed nothing coming from the IP address.

Sorry for being doff but at least I learn something new. Check the maildrop
queue. Part of the reason I didn't is that the documentation for postfix,
postsuper,postqueue,qshape etc hardly ever mention maildrop as a queue! 

I did a "postsuper -h ALL maildrop" and that stopped the spam. Busy running
scripts to release the mail that is valid.

Thanks for all the help everyone.
