Why not? Its primary mission (I believe) is to refuse to accept mail from
senders who do not retry in the event of temporary failures. Its secondary
mission is to persuade spammers that they should modify their software to
keep track of temporary failures and perform retries. It's likely to achieve
its secondary mission pretty soon, I believe.
