Of course there's a little dirty secret probably at work here. A
good number of those ISPs would probably love it that their users
can't run mail servers.
But it's going to take a draconian decision from AOL or several other
ISPs to make it happen. So far the ISPs that have tried RR blocking
have all backed off almost immediately.
Excellent point. But, letting someone run an SMTP server that originates from
the ISP's address space is the issue, so it could be worked with given proper
accountability for delegation. If one of the other checks is performed at the
first reciever site (e.g. domain chk) in addition to IP address checks, that
could also make it acceptable and could introduce a different type of provider
of authorized relay services (unintended consequence?).
