Even AOL and Earthlink are checking for those now....
I leave it on and if a problem arrises, I white list the site temporarily
while they get it fixed.
In the past, it used to be a lost cause for some places trying to get them
to fix it but lately, it seems that when I identify the problem and send
it to the proper people, they fix it fast... that is if they are supposed
to be using that IP for mail services..
I suspect that is because a lot of places are now checking for that and
won't budge when they find a site without it.
