That's exactly what I do. And once I verify the best range to set for identifying a spammer for my servers (currently 20 seconds but that's partly server-specific: 2 of the forums are on one dedicated server while the other 2 are on a VPS with a different host - those on the VPS are slower so that's where the 17, 18, and 19 second spambots are showing up), then I just disable the emails.
