Sorry! We cannot guarantee delivery of this message.  <your domain>

There are two problems with this scenario.  Spammers won't forge
HELO names if it doesn't improve deliverability and big ISP's don't
care what small providers say.

However, the customers of big ISPs will care what the customers of small 
ISPs say.  At least if the latter have the guts to reject the big ISPs' 
bad practices.  And they have to, or otherwise we're never going to solve 
the e-mail abuse problem.
