don't get me wrong that is laughable - just because you don't see false 
positives you are triggering with such a misguided policy don't mean you 
are not rejecting legit mail

it's probably fine if it's a mailserver just for your personal use but a 
no-go if you are responsible for other peoples email at least when it's 
not backed with DNSWL and/or SPF and messages making it trhough that 
checks are handeled by a proper content based filter
