Yes - but you also mentioned that you got blacklisted for using it. I'm
wondering if the reason it happened is because you were verifying
domains that were not open to random addresses. That perhaps it
remembvers random success as a wildcard for that domain but if it fails
on random then it doesn't remember that?

I'm trying to understand how to use this, but I don't want to get
blacklisted. In fact, I'm already dealing with being blacklisted for
callouts.
