No. Because a lot of people won't do that, even if they can. However,
there will likely be *some* people doing that (testing every mail server
that sends them mail).
More likely, lots of people who receive spam will immediately try sending
the specially formatted E-mail through the server that sent it to them.
And, there will probably be a few people out there "randomly" testing mail
servers (IE searching for new open relays).

Sending them at off-peak times reduces the usefulness of the DSBL,
though. If you receive a spam at 10AM, and don't test the server until
10PM, it will likely have sent out 100,000's of E-mails in that time. And,
someone else will likely have tested the server at 10:15 or 10:30.
>Is this a feature that could be built into Declude (or a seperate product)?
It's possible, but unlikely. We'll have to see how things go with the DSBL
and how useful such a tool might be.
