In a perfect world, those MTAs (I'll let you make guesses at which ones didn't like it) would do what they're supposed to do. But then in a perfect world the spammer MTAs would also. I don't think it's worth it unless you're willing to accept that some domains will simply not talk to you any longer. If you're a person? great. if you're a company? not so great. Up to you. Trying it was easy, but waiting for the bounces is a pain (some MTAs wait a long time before finally bouncing mail) If you find differently... let me know!

I am interested to know if it was worth the effort or not. How did you go with the nolisting? I am interested to know if it was worth the effort or not.
