You'll have a lot of collateral damage.  I've worked with a lot of
schemes over the years for spamfighting.  A lot of spam is sourced
inside corporate or educational choke points, meaning that a spam
message from inside a company would block all remaining mail from that
company.  So, for this to work, you really need to time out your blocks
no more than an hour or two later, or legit mail will get unnecessarily
delayed.
