Actually, I'd call it an _insignificant_ class of domain because

they're outliers). *Far* more interesting and significant are the
domains that are *not* very well known. This gives a big incentive
to do very good policing lest your reputation suffer...
I'm very perplexed by this. Are you suggesting that the biggest
senders of email by brand are to be exempt from the rules of MASS but
that everybody else must abide by them? I'm not sure how this will
help adoption.
