It is possible to configure a mail server to wait until after the "mail from:" 
and "rcpt to:" phases of the SMTP protocol are complete before dropping the 
connection.  When "mail from:" contains [EMAIL PROTECTED] then you 
can be pretty sure it's spam.  Also relay attempts are easy to spot, along 
with email to fake addresses at your domain.

Spews are a bit radical.
