I wish that worked as you say -- so far it hasn't happened to any server
I've seen or heard tell of, not in over six years of trying.
But it is a low-cost way to delay them while at the same time preventing
them from throwing their crap at you, especially if they know many of
your user's addresses, and at the same time it prevents various errors,
malicious and unintentional, from causing further damage.
