Once the host has been TempBanned, SIMS will not accept any connections
from it for as long as the temporary blacklisting is in effect, regardless
of whether or not the recipient address actually exists.

It can go on for days -- some of these idiots are quite persistent. Since
the harvest-bots are automated, there's often not a carbon-based operator
monitoring them to intervene when they run into something like being
TempBanned from a server (the prospect of intervention assumes, of course,
that any such operator is bright enough to see and/or care what's going
on). As long as SIMS TempBans the offender, I generally don't worry about
it too much.
