I'd rather prevent the known spammers connecting, we also use DUL lists as 
well, apart from SORBS listing hotmail, Ive never in many many many years 
had a single problem, most users are glad to be protected (as best we can)
from scum.

On the smaller use machines where we use MS with SA, we have low scoring 
of 3 tag, and high scoring of 12 delete it.
