Rather than trying to predict it, measure it. Write a test program which creates a number of connections to the mail server, issues a bad HELO, and then waits, and see how much memory is used as a function of the number of such connections in use. Fit a line through the results and its slope tells you the marginal cost per such connection. I would expect it to be small. -- ``Pirates only run for two things: money and public office.''
