You, sure, how about the people who are not really computer literate and use SMTP AUTH to send their mail from various places? Remember that convinience almost always outweighs security with the general population. If it wouldn´t, the ICT market would not look like it looks today.that's somewhat the opposite of empowerment. if a "spam solution" can take away that crisis and the expense is that my dsl-connected end host has to tunnel its e-mail to someplace out in <www.vix.com/personalcolo> then that's a tradeoff i can live with.
Obviously the other issue is, which has been raised several times, that many provider SMTP services are not really performing up to the expectations of almost instantaneous email delivery. Delays up to days are not too uncommon occurrences.
