Sounds good. Especially on the ISC/SANS dshield list there is a bunch of
people reporting repeated increased hammering from diverse IPs, leading
to the MTA striking. They generally don't report what MTA they're using
(to them that fact is immaterial, that's not their problem) and the only
solution till now is a script to parse the logs and adapt the firewall.
For them this might be a good reason for looking at Postfix.

My Postfix 2.4.5 site only gets occasional bursts that soon stop.
