A truly effective solution to the real problem would not *require* that

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.
Yeah, mail should be permited/forbiden based upon the relationships between
sender and recipient, but might be actioned at any point.
Open relays weren't the root cause of the problem, but they were the place
where the least intrusive fix could be applied.
