Hi Dave,
I understand your frustrations dealing the the brain dead. What I do is
have a text file with a list of domains not to verify and that solves
the problem. You can also push sender verification down your list of
tests so you do less of it. For example, I do my blacklist tests,
whitelist tests, HELO test, other DNS based tests, etc. Then I do some
sender verification on what is left and I'm not getting any complaints
because the number of verification call outs are greatly reduced.
Ok - I am biting - I thought I'd be able to resist - but I couldn't..
Sender address verification callouts are ABUSIVE behaviour. By all means do
a DNS lookup on the sending domain to see if THAT exists, but if you insist
on using SAV like Marc does, you can expect to get blacklisted as often as
his servers do.
It's as simple as that.
All the best

I see what you are referring to now. You're the one who operates a
secret blacklist ABMRBL.COM where you blacklist people manually who
disagree with you.
