Are there any adverse side effects, that anybody can think of?

One is that any mail destined for this host would probably sit in the
queue for the maximum queue lifetime, generally about 4 days, before
bouncing as undeliverable, rather than either being rejected
immediately.

On the other hand, if your routers have the CPU cycles to spare, an
inbound access-list along the lines of

deny tcp 64.94.110.0 0.0.0.255 eq 80 any
 [whatever other stuff you have]
permit ip any any

Will block their return traffic from tbe website (including the TCP ack)
allowing them to cheerfully syn-flood DDoS themselves if enough people
do this.

This will kill the web traffic but allow mail.
