Teergrubing isn't useful in fighting spam.
Years ago, before almost all spam was emitted from botnets,
it might have slowed some senders down. But now all it does
is consume your kernel resources.
The spammer sees no effect. The amount of spam delivered is
not measurably affected. Disconnect from spam sources as fast as
possible, don't get into prolonged sessions with them.
I looked up teergrubing on Wikipedia and when I saw it was teergrube (German for tar pit) I understood your comment. It is sometime funny that when we try to make a verb out of a German noun by adding ING the word no longer looks German and therefore has almost no meaning. I actually speak German but teergrubing just didn't push me into the German side of my brain.

I certainly agree that there is little use in prolonging a spam session! Dump it in the NULL can as soon as possible. Thanks
