That's a really stupid thing to do. If you misconfigure an MX, or a client
of yours misconfigures an MX to point to you, then you end up blacklisting
innocents. Not only that, but at that point, they can't even contact your
postmaster to tell you that they're being blocked for no good reason.

Your loss, I guess.
