To explain: once upon a time, many mail system operators made at

there.  With the advent of mega-providers, we've seen that
disappear.  I happen to think that this is unprofessional and
unethical: one should never build something that one isn't capable
of running properly. But my sentiments aside, this is the reality
we face.

Hey, I tried to help whip people into shape on that front, but got no
end of shit from The Powers That Be about it, and so I gave up trying.
In fact, in some areas (like WHOIS database compliance) the IETF acted
very specifically to undermine my efforts.

The world is reaping what the IETF has sown, in this respect.
