So it is now RFC compliant. Anyway I think delaying mail traffic is not a good solution.
Well, OK, if you not keen on greylisting, you can try greet pausing,
which introduces a shorter delay.
It tests a bot's patience by inserting a pre-HELO pause. RFC allows 5
minutes before timeout. This is last week's stat for one of my mail
server and the count of early-talker or early-disconnecter, almost
all of which are bots. A greet pause of over 20s dumps a lot of bots.
Expect to whitelist the odd server here and there because they've tuned
their servers to some aggressively small RFC non-compliant timeouts.
