I am amazed.  If everybody thought (and configured their mail servers)
like this, one in every five legitimate emails would be undeliverable.
In order to communicate reliably, I would have to resend every fifth
email from a different mail host.  How painful!  I doubt that very many
people would put up with a system that unreliable.

If everybody would get tough, like you, email will die.

After all, email is a means of communication.  You want to be able to
contact people and hear back from them.  It has weak points in its
design which can not be "fixed" by reducing message delivery to a
gamble.
