Has DUL rejection been a problem for you personally? In my own experience,
it hasn't. (My home machines do use a smarthost. My laptop does direct
SMTP, because changing smarthosts as I travel is a pain. Yes, that distorts
the statistics somewhat.)
If you are afraid of DUL, but have not actually seen it cause many bounces,
then you can try the following:
1. Set your machine for direct SMTP delivery.
2. When an email bounces, decide whether you care.
* If no, do nothing. Perhaps tell the person why you won't write
to them anymore.
* If yes, add an smtproute for that domain through your smarthost.
Perhaps tell them why their mail will experience delays (in my
case, up to a week if I'm on the road).
3. Using qmailanalog, estimate how much of _your_ mail is actually
affected by this heavy-handed "spam fighting technique". Laugh
to yourself.
