The problem wth single test rejections is company image. We as a business
using Imail and Declude want our customers to know we will work with them in
any situtaion. We are partners in a sence in this reguard.

If I reject an email on a single test and make it difficult for a potential
customer to do business with me I could loose that million dollor account.
For what, and ignorant mail admin on the other end. I do not think so.

What I have found since using declude and the multiple tests is that many
admins will not let their managers know there is a configuration issue on
their end and they are unwilling to fix the issues due to ignorance or
stupid pride.

Should I penalize my business due to the ignorance of these admins??? No!

What we do do is hold the email from these servers and delay delivery until
the user has a chance to review the mail that has been held for their
account. Our users get a daily email report of all the mail held for them
and they can click a link in the mail to re-queue the message for delivery.
Doing this we have reduced our false positives to close to 0% all legitimate
mail gets delivered.

There may be some cases where single test rejection are allowable.
