I sort of agree with this - so does Sam - hence the ability to accept badly
formatted mime messages - But this isn't accept - this is sending.

Should courier waste cycles confirming the complete DNS structure of a
domain? no I don't think so...

Should it try a second delivery if it can't contact primary MX - yes that's
standard

Should it try to exhaust all possiblities just in case one of the records
turns out to be usable when the rest are crap?

Why should I waste my processor time helping someone else evade spam through
confusion? (Even if this works, it slows everyone else down).
