SERVE OFF is not  a command for owners. Servers are  servers and lists are
lists. And  the user may not  be on your list  at all but only  some local
distribution.

I'd not  say "punish" but  otherwise - exactly  that. I have  been through
such discussions a number of times and  I don't care whether it's a single
host  not conforming  to  standards  or MCIMail  or  the .d400.de  domain.
Obviously it's already a pain in the neck - how far should tolerance go in
your opinion?
If our nameserver is fishy do you think we could successfully argue: " you
can't  punish the  users  in our  domain just  because  the admin  goofed,
doesn't care,  or is unreachable so  whenever you get rejections  from our
domain then simply stop SMTP, restart your nameserver, ... "
