+1.

I preferred the "let's honor the policy" list system adaption approach. It was the simplest, less programmatic approach. I did get some initial complaints from users who wanted to continue using their "junk" ESP email addresses like yahoo.com, aol.com and now icloud.com accounts and other larger esp domain accounts with restrictive mail policies who switched to restrictive policies. They understood the dilemma and used other domains - problem solved.
