  I disagree, for one simple reason: Software upgrades are expensive.

  If we can find a solution which works by updating rules in existing
MTA's, then it's MUCH easier for that solution to be deployed.  Since
most MTA's already have semi-configurable DNS lookups, DNS is
naturally the first solution we should examine.
