So by your reasoning we shouldn't have bothered to close the open

A truly effective solution to the real problem would not *require* that
open relays be closed, it would involve a transaction between the sender
and the recipient, not impose a constraint on the transport layer.
In other words, it'd find some other way to achieve the same effect of
closing open relays.
I suppose one could argue that simply forbidding unauthorized
third-party email to be forwarded through their system seems a
heavy-handed way to accomplish the desired effect.
But then again it's not clear how any other solution could allow
forwarding of unauthorized third-party mail w/o problem, though I
suppose variations on the basic theme could arise.
