and certainly should were that the case, but the idea is to ban those
sites that have repeated rejections and/or refusals in a short period
of time.

The purpose is to ban rogue sites that continually pound your system
attempting access, to relay mail/spam and/or to deliver spam to you,
not to stop or deter valid ligitimate connection attempts.  Ligitimate
sites will not spend this type of effort for access.
