That said... it also does wonders for cutting down on "password reminder"
emails :( 

Although most companies' mail servers are correctly configured, often web
servers aren't, and since password reminders are usually sent from the web
server they can often be blocked. Even Real.com uses invalid HELOs when
sending these out, and of course no tech support dept ever understands what
you're banging on about.
