  Yes, and ISPs the world over are pissed, as the domain donotcall.gov
originally had no MX records, and yet they still sent out email as part of
the sign-up process.  This caused no end of havoc and aggravation.  There is
an MX record now, but the host specified does not appear to be responding.

  People have also raised the concern that the system might easily be duped
into mailbombing people.  Apparently, the contractor who configured the
system doesn't have any experience with this kind of application.
