Sending my client's email to your servers is irresponsible at best and
possibly even a violation of contract or illegal.
It does not matter that you claim to always give a temp fail. It does
not matter that you are a Real Nice Guy.
What if your servers become compromised?
What if your DNS is hijacked?
What if your software giving the temp fail doesn't work properly?
What if a broken MTA sends the message even after you temp fail?
What if you turn into a Real Bad Guy?
There is also the issue that even if you do temp fail, even the
knowledge of which servers are trying to connect to my client's
domains may not be something they want you to gather.
As many have stated: if you are truly interested in this, get a client
together, preferably open source, that sends only the neccesary data
to your site.

What if your server is compromised or your DNS is hijacked? I'm doing
the same thing Postini is doing, just better. Besides, if you keep your
email servers and backup servers online then good email will never reach
my server.
And - I'm putting this out for those who are interested. You are not
interested so this doesn't affect you.
