Michael claims off-list that he has no idea what I'm speaking of.
So, to be more specific, I'm implicitly asking two things.
1. Should those domains be treated differently by the recipient ISP?
2. How does ADSP help them make that decision?
There's probably a third followup question if the answer to "2" involves
maintaining a list of domains, but that can wait.
Cheers,
Steve
