Any IT department which CANNOT publish -all is not doing their

I can see ?all or ~all for an ISP that has paying customers
who maintain their own machines and which the ISP has no control
over, but it is the responsibility of corporate IT to maintain
e-mail and other critical services in a manner that ensures
accessibility and accountability for their company.
Joe in sales who goes to trade shows MUST NOT have to rely
on unvetted third parties or direct sending for e-mail access.
It's not about whether Joe has a way to send email through the company
servers. It's about whether Joe can send mail to people who forward
their mail. For Joe in sales to have his email rejected because his IS
department think the whole world has already implemented SRS, when in
fact that's not true, is not acceptable.
Anyone in an IS department publishing '-all' records for their company
should be fired for incompetence. Like I said, it's fine for toy domains
-- you have the right to break your own mail, and even to wear your
underpants on your head if you so desire. It's different in the real
world.
