I was reading this subject and I was wondering, if you thought about what would happen if you compile a list of misspelled domains and denied them instantly and the user mint to send it to one of those domains. I'm saying this because what you may think is misspelled domain maybe a real domain that user is sending a e-mail to. There are lot domains out there are taken, so many people use domains that are spelled close to the one that was taken.
