Given the current state of the technology, there is a set of problems
that mail administrators simply cannot solve. Attempting to solve them
with custom solutions like this is futile because it
a) Makes your systems more complex
b) Puts the entire onus of testing your homegrown, custom
solution on yourself.
c) Requires constant updating.
There are some battles that you simply cannot win right now.
Concentrate on what you can do and stop making your life needlessly
complex.
