I find it useful to be able to queue it up somewhere I control and
then deliver in one batch forcibly afterwards, rather than wait for it
to trickle in. This was especially useful when I had another machine
on a different network than my primary MX.

As have I, quite a lot of it.

Agreed.

I, on the other hand ;) used to be a hypocrit on this matter but now I
control both MXen for my domain and have noticed a significant
improvement on my blocking using RSS and RBL.
