There's nothing to test, just drop it into sendmail.mc .. Spammers
don't
like to wait, they start pumping stuff right away and will cause

to hang up on 'em.
...rejecting commands from [221.126.145.171] [221.126.145.171] due to
pre-greeting traffic
Works so well, maybe it should be kept secret. ;-)
It will also cause local and LAN traffic to pause, so read the section

how to set "GreetPause: localhost 0" in access.db
