Thanks very much to everyone!
I just wanted to make sure if it's a good idea or not before I implement that
in my mimedefang-filter.
Turned out it's not.
But I have another question (similar to first one):
Does it make sense to reject email if domain part of sender's address doesn't
have A or MX records?
Thanks again,
Dmitry
