Ok, you're right that it SHOULD be the sender's problem, because they 
use an MTA which does not follow the RFC.

I did not know the text from the RFC till you mentoined it. Now I do, I 
see my advice is wrong, so please ignore it.

On the other hand, I really do not want to explain to our customers 
that they lost e-mail because of this, although we are not to blame. In 
their vision it would be our fault.
