All spambots we know, do not have a queue to start a second delivery
after the first connect was blocked.
Thats because you usually cut out a lot of spam by using greylisting.

Greylisting surely delays email and blocks the sender queue,
that why we dont like it.

We prefer another method, by directing the lowest MX to a dead
and not working IP. Any normal mailserver sends mail to this
dead IP first, does not get a connect and selects the secondary
MX (what is really the working primary MX) in seconds without
having to queue it.
This keeps the queue small for all good senders, has nearly
no delay and still blocks out most spambots (except those
that are using the 2nd or 3rd MX all the time).


Kind regards, Frank
