IME this case is a recipe for messages disappearing without a trace. For

my users try to send email at home they often find that our servers reject
both the original message and the resulting bounce. Similar effects will
result from LMAP or SES rejections.
Umm, this makes no sense.
Yes, it is stupid. (Though I was wrong to say DUL -- I forgot which
component of the RBL+ they were listed in.)
If the the SMTP proxies are transparent, then it is the end user's IP
that in the DUL and being looked up as the connecting server. Is that
what you meant to say?
Nope, they really did put their intercepting smarthosts in the RBL.
