I'm using dsn to reject at smtp time, and testing postmaster by adding an X-Warning header locally. DSN is great. I've been doing sender verification with callouts for a little while, but DSN obviates (most of) the callouts, lessening the load on my server and the Internet in general. I've also been reporting servers not rejected by DSN but which give messages proclaiming their ignorance such as "could not verify sender: server said '550 we block mail from <> in order to stop spam!'" good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- http://www.doorstop.net/sprintpcs_sucks
