Few MTA's bother to 'vet' a destination.  A destination either 
resolves and hand-shakes correctly at the moment of a delivery 
attempt or not.

You may have missed the point. It is your *outbound* traffic 
that is at risk of rejection unless you use a 'proper' MTA / 
smarthost.

An increasing number of MTA *DO* try to vet the source of 
incoming traffic, and that may include not only forward/reverse 
lookups, but also checking (R)BL's for the organizations that 
purport to offer workarounds.

Ergo 'yi.org' may not be as useful as you think it is.

Not to forget - this Exim mailing list is considerable more 
'forgiving' as to what it accepts than many other MTA are - Exim 
or otherwise.

It isn't about branding *everyone* who has 'no fixed address' as 
undesireables.

It is about reminding those among them who give-a-damn, that 
they are operating in a manner that puts them on the 'deny' side 
of a test that is highly effective as to blocking zombies.

If it waddles like a duck, looks like a duck, quacks like a 
duck... we call it a duck.
