   so what if the guy is using your web server and his mailer attempts a mail   
   transfer? that won't work if you block in the firewall based on IP only... it   
   would seem to be better for the application to reject multiple connections   
   from the same mailer... binkleyterm, frontdoor, binkd and other mailers   
   certainly do this with their busy semaphores... if the semaphore already   
   exists and isn't too old (if they have an option for semaphore age), they will   
   reject the incoming connection with something like "BUSY" or "No servers   
   available"...

   Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it   
   wrong...
