Eaily done, of course, given that we have - through this list, for
example - 'awareness' of each other as other-than spammers.
My point, however, was that 'even if' sender-callouts are permitted,
they can fail for reasons that have naught to do with whether the target
permits / responds to them or not.
That may result in the call-ing server remaining unaware of the *other*
reasons.
