[ale] lame servers, spam blocking and ale

After a month of data collection from logs, I came to the conclusion that
all of the "lame server" entries resulting from smtp clients sending spam.
I had the idea that I would save some processing if I crafted a script to
block these people at the firewall for perhaps 24 hours.

Then we get this:

Jan  6 09:33:20 smtp2 named[6146]: lame server resolving 'ale.org' (in
'ale.org'?): 209.125.90.75#53
