I happened to check my logs this evening and discovered that a spammer had tried to send one of my clients a few emails over the weekend. Only 100,000 or so. He was being blocked via an RBL, but that still takes up resources, so I manually blocked his IP address, as well as ran a ping -f -s 65507 on him for a while, and reported him to his ISP. The mail stopped about 5 minutes later, so I don't know what made the difference, it doesn't seem like his ISP could have reacted that fast, particularly on a Saturday evening.
