Understood, but as they say, if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the
problem. The laxness of the various ISPs, and the bad example they set, just make it
that much harder for "private" entities like us to exchange email reliably with our
partners. If I hear one more idiot admin ask "It works with AOL, how come it doesn't
work with you?", I think I'm going to puke.
