 If I am understanding right, it adds people to the spamblock that 
redundantly attempt to email an account on your BBS that doesn't exist?

Hypothetical example:

A spam bot is flooding a server with anything-and-everything@malkaviabbs.com 
*hoping* it gets lucky to find that something it's trying exists. Synchronet 
sees that it's doing this and nails em.

Am I understanding correctly?
