What about just 'kill' listing IPs that fail 10 attempts?

Having been subjected to weeks of non-stop dictionary attacks, I've now been
working on something of a solution by scanning the IMail log file for
rejections and attempting to determine which IPs are nailing us.  Part of
this is doing some DNS lookups, if the overhead isn't too terrible.  I know
right off the bat that I won't accept inbound connections from any server
without a reverse entry, but was wondering whether it is safe to block hosts
that do not have MX records?
