For a single user yes. Is that a big problem though?
I don't know. All the hacker needs to know is a list of emails and
could lock down a large set of users. Plus the users being hacked are
also locked out.
If you sleep on the server you'd be able to do a DoS on the whole
server (even if async) with a single machine.
Ugh, I guess the hacker could just ignore responses that are blocking.
