By 'responded' to emails, what did you mean? Smtp '550 unknown user/goaway' or send them email (spam, backscatter?)
I seem to recall from the discussion at the time that often the first couple of e-mails go back to the 'controller' so they know that things are working. That was my meaning of responding.
Postfix MTA has built in tarpitting available if you want to go that far. Not that it will affect anything, or change what the sending (zombot) does. --
