During the time I was running it on the work machines it was generally
well received with a couple of complaints. Mainly from recipients who's
incoming email had got stuck with massive delays due to crummy MTAs at
the other end backing off for a day or more after the first error.
Unfortunately that implementation is now toast due to some
reorganisation though I'm currently planning on a replacement once I've
finished this damm migration.

Until the spammers morph to get round the problem it's a great solution
to the problem, but it's not going to last at it's current level of
effectiveness.
