As I understand it, that (-s) is the *outgoing* stutter -- once they
say "DATA" and spamd has said "ok, go ahead and send", the spammer will
send their entire spam message at ADSL speed; I want them to be choked
down to 300 baud so that each character of spam they send takes a long
time to arrive...
Am I being clearer now? :-)
