Maybe  so.  Still,  why  reinvent  the wheel using DNS when it sets up
incredibly  easily  using  the  current  method? There's no way UDP is

Anybody  using  peering  intelligently  knows  that  you  don't  allow
external SMTP to peer servers--they're POP3 only.

More  efficient  than  VRFY  on a two-server setup, tons more overhead
with 3+. VRFY is much more scalable as your hit rate goes down.
