I just installed SpamAssassin and got it working, but it just drops or marks spam 
after it has already accepted it.  While this /dev/null type behavior is great, I 
would rather discourage spammers by refusing the connection period.

I was wondering if there is a way of using spamd/spamc to reject the spammers SMTP 
connection by inserting a ruleset in the sendmail.mc or cf.  I was hoping for a result 
similar to that of the RBL mc's.

FEATURE(dnsbl,`dun.dnsrbl.net')dnl
FEATURE(dnsbl,`spam.dnsrbl.net')dnl
FEATURE(dnsbl,`blackholes.mail-abuse.org')dnl
FEATURE(dnsbl,`list.dsbl.org')dnl
FEATURE(dnsbl,`multihop.dsbl.org')dnl
FEATURE(dnsbl,`unconfirmed.dsbl.org')dnl

etc...

I imagine there might be a way to pipe the incoming data to spamc and return a boolean 
response weather or not to accept the connection.  In reponse to a dropped connection 
it would reply with error codes and the spam condition of the mail.  

Am I just fantasizing?  If so where are the resourses I need to start coding this one 
up?

Thanks for your time.
