Came up with a cool trick that seems to be working well after running for

I do the same by harvesting the IPs that fail SMTP AUTH a number of times, and then if more than a number of IPs in a ClassC, I block the entire ClassC.

I do the same with postscreen/pregreet IPs and ClassC.

Have you considered TCP Tarpitting instead of just blocking them?

Blocking them doesn't actually *punish* them. Getting their MTAs *stuck* for hours or days does.
