In the process of resolving this I also took the opportunity to implement Sapmhaus's DROP list as an access.db filter. This change together with blocking .BR and .RU tlds (with an informative error message on how to arrange connectivity to our servers) has cut out number of concurrent SMTP connections from an average of ~68 to ~8.
Do you mind sharing how you implemented the drop list as a access.db filter?? How did you represent the various network blocks??
Thank you,
