They're getting better, but yeah.

For a while you could often block over 50% of spam just by making the  
MTA wait ten seconds before sending the initial greeting, and hanging  
up on anyone who started sending SMTP commands during that time.   
Some of the spamware has gotten wise to this and waits for the  
command responses now, though.
