Although some of us can't. Running a large customer service mail
server, for example, where people in the field have hostnames *that
haven't propagated through DNS yet to the receiver's mail server*
means the mail will be at least deferred, if not actually blocked.
Still, the window where that can happen is pretty small. Maybe, what, half an
hour? It's not worth accepting piles of spam in order to avoid the risk of
rejecting mail during that small window, at least for me. You won't be able
to reply until the hostname has propegated anyway.
