My understanding is that the most popular spam delivery agents simply scan downward in the MX values until they can connect once, and then go on to the next domain. The error return doesn't matter to them... they're trying for as many different domains as possible, and once having "delivered" the message (even a 4xx), they move on. Thus, you need something that will at least connect and try to accept the message. -- Randal L.
