This works well for people who actually send you messages but then no postmaster messages concerning delivery problems or automated emails that are sent from scripts such as bills that you receive via email or password resets for certain websites etc. will no longer be received...
It is not a good idea to implement this for these reasons. If only real people composed and sent every valid email that was supposed to be accepted it would work. But the reality of things is that a lot of valid emails are generated by scripts running on servers with accounts that do not have return addresses that get checked so the email would never be approved...

Must not know the title you guys were using. Suggestions? I understand the initial problems of the autoresponder generating many emails but if more people ran these type of things there would be little spam getting through. Now with Earthlink doing it can the rest of us ignore this? What about AOL? At what point to do take it seriously regardless of any logic that may be understood?
