The problem is when you have a few domains like I do, I get over 1000s spams
a day, you simply don't get time to check for rejects. I wish my mail server
did reject these on receipt so the sender (if they are ligitemate) knows, as
I will never see them amoung all the other ones. The only way to find them
is for the sender to tell me what to look for which means some other kind of
contact not via email! I do have a white list system for regular email, this
will reduce the ammount of false positives you get dramatically.
