From my point of view; outgoing MTA can be any server in the world.
How could I know I should temporarily add record for MTA of some
ISP the hotel is using ?
Please read the LMAP discussion paper. It addresses this issue.
Nice. I'll quote: LMAP discussion paper, page 1.
'The LMAP protocol falls with the scope of "changes to existing
applications"'
In ideal world, we would throw away SMTP [and bunch of other protocols,
too].
In real world changing all MUAs, MTAs, firewalls, proxies - all software and
hardware built around this crappy protocol - is way too big overhead that it
could happen now. We have the spam problem now.
