If a site wants wide-open access, just give it to them.  If that turns
out to cause operational problems (due to open mail proxies, spam
origination, etc), then put 'em back behind the relays.

guilty until proven innocent, eh?  thanks mr ashcroft.

Randy, are you objecting to the model for initial connectivity,
or the throwing them back behind relays w/o a formal trial?
