When we looked at it years ago, it did little to stem the tide of spam,
all it did was over give us a negative impact by delays of legit mail,
some servers are also poorly configured and dont try resend for a long
period of time, especially if their queue is also loaded up, then
there's non compliant twits like a certain freemail service that does
not retry, period. Too many downfalls, it lasted all of a few days when
we tried it out. It might be acceptable for small SOHO, but it is
unacceptable for ISP's and hosting companies who process millions of
mails a day.
