Oh, if I only had time ...
Playing devil's advocate ... I'm sure I could find a way to make recipient
verification more expensive than DNS blacklists ;-) [Actually, it sounds
like Tony already has ;-)]
Since the original concern (IIRC) was performance, it may be worth
pointing out that DNS blacklist lookups are effectively done only once per
per connection, because of caching (and in effect even less than that
because of caching nameservers), whereas recipient verification has to
be done once per recipient.
