There is an unwanted side effect of the change to the behaviour of
ForcePBExtreme in build 0.1.11 of ASSP 1.60. If a sending MTA sends
exceeds the extreme penalty threshold in a single session, it is allowed
to keep sending in that session. Witness the following log extract
(where PenaltyExtreme is set to 150):

I think ForcePBExtreme should be enforced at connection time *and* (as
before) per message thereafter.

However in the newest version of V1 (1.6.0) the meaning of
ForcePBExtreme has changed:

Enforce Early PenaltyBox Extreme Blocking (ForcePBExtreme)
If set and DoPenaltyExtreme is enabled, ASSP will do DoPenaltyExtreme
immediately after connection.
