Same difference to me, you get blocked.  My servers are busy enough as 
it is (just as an example, one incoming SMTP server out of 4 with one 
client has consistent 80 connections per second, an average 500 
connections active at any given tine, the majority, over 80%, bounces 
or SAV checks).  So guess what?  I'm going to block those servers 
until they smarten up.



The reason you get so many bounces is that your servers are SAV hostile. 
If someone spoofs your domain then you're going to get SAV connection if 
you allow it or bounce connections if you don't. And the number of 
bounces is going to be a lot higher than the SAV requests because 
spammers like domains where the recipient host gives no information 
about if the account is valid or not.
