I used it for sender verification, not for recipient verification. There
is a continuous debate about this kind of verification when there is a
massive joe job. So this is a dilemma if you wish to verify every each
address, you should accept being blacklisted. I think sender
verification should only be used when the mail is already a spam suspect.
If you use it for recipient verification, that generally means you are
an MX gateway for some domains and that they should trust you if they
are renting your services. If domains you are an MX for blacklist you or
make you blacklisted, they just should fix their configuration.
