Only if used appropriately. Using them to check unknown senders may be
acceptable.

But many people use C/R systemes even when requesting automated mail
responses (e.g. from online ordering sytems) or when initating the mail
contact themselves. I usually drop those mails in the bitbucket and
refrain from further communication with this kind of people. If they
will not make make the effort to whitelist the systems/users they
contact, I will not do that either.
