Nope, to quote Paul Vixie:

{
  no.  not just because that's not how our internal hashing works, but
  because "hosted" tld's like .museum have had wildcards from day 1 and
  the registrants there are perfectly comfortable with them.  there's
  no one-policy-fits-all when it comes to tld's, so we would not want
  to offer a knob that tried to follow a single policy for all tld's.
}

thereby, spammers can now spam us from any *.museum, *.cc or whatever:


HELO alfjaldjads.museum

and

mail FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

and we will eat it as a valid domain. super!!

The spammers should be all over this one VERY FAST.
