dspam must have completely received the message before they can

with
your method, the spammer is able to completely send the message to
you.
Yes I realize the message gets killed in between your outside
server and
your user's mailbox. But, the spammer doesen't know that and they
think
they have successfully sent a message. Thus it encourages them to
keep sending.
Uhh, no. They may be sending the message but they get the reject in
the DATA phase before the smtp connection is done. The spammer does
NOT think he has successfully sent the message unless it is one that
does not care anyway to finish the smtp connection.
