The best thing to do would be to accept the mail (with _really_ low
bandwidth) up to the final dot but instead of sending the final SMTP
"ok-delivered" message you do "getchar(SMTP); exit(99);". Bingo, their SMTP
is blocked until they decide to timeout (and it's a really long timeout at
this point). If enough people do this...

Since they connect directly to mae-east... it'd be possible to grab their
networks, though; simply publish two /16s for each /15 they announce, and
so on. (agis.net has a _lot_ of networks. Way too many, in fact. It seems
that they're equally interested in conserving IP numbers as in listening to
spam receivers' complaints.)
