    so what? when they fix their system, then they'll post their mail!
    Systems should be optimized for the common case, not for rare cases.

    I prefer to get a bounce telling me that my DNS server is misconfigured
    than wait 4 days and get bounces for all the messages that my system
    sent during that period of time.

    If you don't like DNS failures, then don't base your mail decisions on
    that. DNS isn't safe. If you base your smtp setup on it, then you have
    the common denominator.
