I only changed the service that was most drastically affected, my anti-spam 
relays.  I put in a HACK() that restored the "sender domain must exist" 
behavior to sendmail, when a sender domain resolved to the SiteFinder 
address.  I figured my measures ought to affect as little as possible, and 
address only real operational problems that the wildcards caused.

I am optimistic that this is the last time we'll see any wildcards in any 
gTLDs.
