This doesn't work if people start adopting RMX-like solutions, and I have a dozen e-mail addresses. Or .forwards. Or /etc/alias-based mailing lists. Or other reasons for attempting to use legitimate third-party relays.It's no worse than listening to a DUL RBL. If you don't know the IP you are connecting through, I don't want to talk to you. I want to speak to *well behaved* MTAs. If you're behind a NAT, talk to your local provider's MTA.
How many people have the knowledge and skills necessary to do this sort of thing?e.g. my personal mail server recently ran afoul of rr.com anti-spam efforts. it seems someone on the /24 where my boxes reside sent a bunch of bad email to rr.com, so they blocked the whole /24, not just the single IP... their servers, their rules... but I was able to route rr.com mail through my ISPs mail servers until the block was lifted.
But how many complaints are you not getting? For example, I don't ever talk to anyone who uses a TMDA/ASK-like system, not even to complain about their anti-spam measures.We'll see how many complain about what's in place now. I don't think I'm being draconian. Just asking that people run their own services well.
