And no wonder. To quote from Wikipedia:
Reject policy is fine for domains that don't have individual human
users, or for companies with firm staff policies that all mail goes
through the company mail server, and employees don't join mailing lists

less strictly managed domain for its staff mail. Strict policies will
never be appropriate for public webmail systems where the users will use
their mail addresses any way one can use a mail address.
