This is different from the bounces we are now producing if your host doesn't resolve under lookup/reverse-lookup. We don't care to have our lists spammed so we allow anyone to post even if not subscribed but only with confirmation, and we reject all messages from possibly spoofed sites (Windows XP has spoofing capability so it is likely to become a BIG problem).
