Well it doesn't "disallow" per se mail that isn't whitelisted, it sends
out a bounce to the sender tha requires them to reply to it. If they
don't, you never get the message.
Its an extra step that spambots and harvesters can't negotiate if they're
spoofing headers, and if its somebody who doesn't know you its a minor
extra step to open communications with you based on your whois record.
