I have an additional philosophy about this: if someone has a boneheaded
mailer that doesn't follow MX records, that's *their* problem, not yours.
They won't be able to send to *many* places on the Internet -- why should
you go out of your way to accomodate them?

If your phone number contained an 8 and you found out that there were some
people whose phones had broken 8 keys, would you change your phone number?
