Further, someone else at the IETF has once told that privacy and anonimity are considered core values of the IETF, and that

  My concern is that I don't see a requirement that SMTP should solve
all of the worlds problems.  I understand that SMTP should not
*remove* peoples privacy and anonymity.  But there is no requirement
(and there SHOULD be no requirement) that SMTP creates privacy and
anonymity, where there was none before.


Nevertheless, we should tread carefully on removing on whatever anonimity is currently being granted by SMTP.
