Emphatically disagree, because of NATs. It’s counterproductive to gratuitously
impair smtp to prevent it from being used across ipv4/IPv6 boundaries, across
boundaries between public and private ipv4 networks, and across boundaries
between private ipv4 networks. It’s also counterproductive to put something
into a specification that implementors have to ignore for pragmatic reasons.
