I don't really see that as a socially responsible action. If my mailserver was completely loaded to the point of not even being able to queue a message, I'd buy pushing back on the sender with a 4xx, but the reality is that while I may have maxed out my spamd children, I can likely still receive and queue mail locally. The queueing up of mail to spamd really belongs on the local server, and should not become a burden on sending MTAs. I'm kinda gathering that this is not possible within spamassassin itself. Probably in fact it is for at least some MTAs but how to achieve it becomes MTA specific and OT here. b.
