Ugh, that makes this a little more difficult...

I was just trying to save the effort of bouncing this junk back to nowhere,
especially when the 'nowhere' exists, but is not reachable, so my server
tries every 30 minutes for 5 days... Probably not all that CPU intensive,
but I keep several thousands of email in the outqueue...

Along the same lines, I get 30,000+ scans a day (that is just the ones that
fail), trying to discover local addresses to send spam to - I guess there is
not much to do about that, right??  I am not a big fan of blocking ip ranges
to my port 25, but I guess that is about the only option??
