Sounds like only a temporary solution, though the satisfaction it would give when it works might be worth it. If they're not doing so already, I'm sure spammers will spread their spamming over tens-of-thousands of hosts so that each host only sees a message coming in every few minutes or so.

Showing messages 1 through 2 of 2.

  How does SpamsShield compare to SpamAssassin? Is it as hard on server load? Can it(spamshield) be configured on a user per user basis instead of the entire server?

  From Glenn Graham - Contributing author.
  
  Thank you for your comments regarding my article on SpamShield.
  
  I agree that in theory, spammers may very well spread their mail over thousands of hosts at a time, thereby defeating our initial goal.
  
  In practice, we can only hope this would become a tiring and diminishing task.
  
  Let's keep an eye out for the next version of SpamShield.
  
  Yours truly,
  
  Glenn Graham.
