Perhaps a sentence or two clarifying that this only applies to
SMTP and SUBMIT would be in order
But there are a large number of SOHO and consumer boxes,
designed for use as firewalls, etc., which are capable of
sending out mail via SMTP containing their logs. They are not
multi-user, are presumably difficult to compromise by virus or
worm, and are typically configured only to send mail to SMTP
servers they protect and hence presumably trust. Given the
prohibitions in this document, where are those devices left?
Am I correct in assuming that this document would intend to
prohibit those devices as non-conforming?
