Given the '451' response in the SMTP conversation, it is a relatively polite and benign way to defer connections. I doubt a sending MTA will feel too heartbroken over the accompanying text ;) Humans shouldn't be connecting to port 25 in any case, unless when they know what they're doing (and know why they're connecting). End user connections are what the submission port (589) is for. For port 589, I recommend the administrator set his MTA software to a warm and friendly greeting, with a stern message upon failed authentication. That bit, however, falls outside the scope of spamd.
