Fetchmail receives the "550 Spam refused" and reports that courier refused
delviery then sends an RSET.  Courier responds to the RSET but - it
appears - often not for 20-70 seconds.  When the delay is >60 seconds,
the upstream ISP pop3 connection has timed out (it seems to have a 60
second timeout).
      
The first time a message is rejected, the response to the next command is
delayed by 8 seconds.

If subsequent messages continue to be rejected, the delay gets progressively
increased.  The delay gets reset only when a message is succesfully
accepted.

Therefore, when someone starts flinging spam at Courier, non-stop, the
sender will be quickly tarpitted.

Solution: don't start throwing spam at Courier.
    

I guess I have two choices....

  
Not so sure about that. I've only begun looking at fetchmail for some things I need, but it seems that the "preconnect" directive, used to invoke mailfilter/spamassassin (or similar) might do the trick here. But the essential idea is: have fetchmail pass each message through a filter before flinging it at Courier.
