For what it's worth, I do, for the whole of this University.
Of course there is an exceptions list, and I will send hints to any site
asking why we won't receive their mail.
There has only ever been one site on the exceptions list, and they gave a

and I see they are still on the list. No mail from that HELO in the last
few days, so maybe they did fix it ...
