Actually Wesley, it does. You see, if you continue to send
undeliverable mail to an ISP like Yahoo, you can get flagged. See

If you send to too many dead or invalid addresses, you run the risk of
looking like a spammer. Since we know we aren't being used as an open
relay, we are trying to reduce the number of bad email addresses. If
an address that was previously blacklisted turns out to later be a
valid address, the client will notify us and we will remove that
address at their request. In addition, sometimes, you have a user who
just doesn't want the email anymore but doesn't know how or (doesn't
read the unsubscribe directions at the bottom of the email) and it's
all too easy to click the spam button in their mail client. I've
checked my dns and reverse dns and we are using domainkeys - I'm just
looking for more options to address this problem.
Thanks you though for looking at my post.
Right I was looking at it differently :)
If there is going to be a check anyway why not put it in your
subscription page
or whatever it is you use and deny the address to be listed with a
waiting period
so "not so friendly" users can't abuse this.
