It only takes on compromised laptop in an enterprise to take advantage of replay. I disagree with the assertion that replay is only a problem for freemail providers.

A specialized DNS server for handling automated revocation is much more likely to be affective in most enterprises than waiting on the mail admins to roll keys once they have detected a replay attack, if they ever do.
