Not at all.  If we can agree that lists should reject discardable
mail
out of self defense, that's a good point to add to the BCP.

+1

Refusing signups from those domains is probably a bit extreme, though.

What about a warning at signup time if a "discardable" ADSP record is
found for the registrant's domain?

Seems like a reasonable UX design to me but probably
more a choice for the developer than a BCP, I think.

(I think that refusing signups from ADSP using domains
may also be a reasonable choice for the developer or list
admin in some cases. But not something to put in a BCP.)

Why not? At least mention that it might be polite to make such a warning. 
After all, the person signing up might have no clue at all that their 
domain is 'discardable'.

I guess we can't claim that it's common practice, never might best common 
practice. But it is, surely, a good idea.

Cheers,
  Steve
