reporting dictionary attacks

[Jayson Smith]

Hi,
Just a few thoughts, and maybe you can't do any of this...
First, can you shut down the mailserver for a moment to try to make them
think you've cought up to them?  How about somehow blocking their ip?  Or,
if you can anticipate an address they will soon use, quick like a bunny set
up a user under that name, then that user can report it to Spamcop.
Jayson.
