Ok, how about this proposal:
Rather than blocking the entire network (CIDR block) automatically, at
least blacklisting
the individual address for 3-5 days?
I see a lot of cases where I'll reject email from ratware, and then 20
minutes or an hour
or a day later, they reconnect and try to send it again (I'm sending
them a 5xx and not a
45x response, too).
