What you and Daevid have repeatedly been told on this list is that that
is _not_ at all a reliable way to operate a mail server. You should
unconditionally send all your mail through a smarthost. You cannot rely
on all servers which will be ignoring you because of the blacklist to
reject your mail in a way that you can detect, either automatically (as
you propose) or manually (as you currently do). Many servers will
simply drop your traffic silently, or quarantine it.
