Matt, I really don't know why you bother. He is rabid and beyond logic,
poor baby.
I block smtp access using spamd from .kr and .cn and spews1 and I don't
get more than 1 or 2 spams a month except from lists that I am
subscribed to. I can <del> one or two a day without getting
hypertensive but I don't think the little Tourettes baby can make that
kind of connection with reality.
I use the "don't let in Linux to ssh" pf capability on one machine and
the connection rate facility on the newer ones. He would rather rave
than use whatever is left of his brain to do something like that.
Probably hormonal ego tripping or a giant inferiority complex
overcorrection.
Leave him be.
