Yes (nods to johnl), but I'm trying to convince Dan that it's a good
idea. I think the increase in reliability (rejecting mail which you
*know* cannot accept a bounce message, should one be generated) is
worth the increase in cost (more code and network traffic to check the DNS).
This will also have the side effect of making ezmlm work better
(because it relies on the envelope sender being correct) by keeping
the mail on a server closer to the point of error.
