However, a larger issue. Does anyone have any evidence that
tarpitting is effective? I somehow doubt it. Tying up a sendmail
process on your box probably consumes far more of your resources than
a very lightweight ratware thread on some 0wned zombie PC consumes of
the spammer's resources.

Understood and possibly even agreed. However at this point, I want to do this to see if it is possible.

Even if I do not really slow down the zombie to any meserable good, I will probably slow down it's dictionary attck on my system, thus in some way making my system a tad bit more secure by making it harder for it to complete said dictionary attack. At least that is some of what I'm thinking.
