Worse, those that want to use rDNS in the weighted tests will see it become useless, as ISPs that host the ranges that AOL hates will simply change their rDNS names to bypass the filters. Perhaps if MSN would just block all ISP's whose emails fail the NOPOSTMASTER and IPNOTINMX, tests, then AOL would be the one complaining (since all of the AOL mail we receive fails both). > If AOL delievery isn't a big deal to you then you shouldn't care.

What about those in countries where capitalism doesn't reign and legit business users don't have the ability to fix their rDNS or vote with their feet? > You do not have an implicit > *right* to send email to whoever you please. True. Just don't let France figure out they can just start blocking all emails into their country that don't have their SMTP conversations in french (after all, it's THEIR country and their servers -- if you don't like it, you can fix your end or go away).
