I think you have to decide if such a thing is a good idea by asking
yourself what would happen if a larger percentage of the recipients did
this.  And if the mailing list were large, the server would be asked to
do quite a bit more work.  Normally mail gets delivered and is out of
the queue in a matter of seconds.  Some user with a losing SMTP server
such as this is asking the upstream to do extra work.  Some might agree,
others might not.
