I am, for the time being. It shouldn't be necessary, though.

Most all IPs are dynamic and it's ridiculous to expect all mail servers to be 
on a rare static IP. Sane spam filters will only check lists of abused IPs, 
not a list of nearly every IP online.

Immediate delivery and/or delivery confirmation?

I use Postfix. Unless I want to create a mail forwarding loop when servers I 
relay for are down, it is necessary to list every host with intolerant mail 
servers in a transport file.
