If you really want to make spammers waste their time and bandwidth (and
you have got bandwidth to waste yourself), you should pretend to accept
their junk and discard it. And of course, you should also fool their scans
testing whether the mail server acts as an open relay or not by sending a
real short message (making the difference between early and late refusal
irrelevant from their pov).
