The reality is that the vast majority of email is handed off to
a designated mail relay (whether we're talking about consumer
connections or office environments), and if we actually
configured connectivity in this matter, there wouldn't be a
problem.

our innate fear of this stems from suspicion of centralization and
the telco switch model.  this fear is not clearly unjustified.

maybe we can get reasonable security without a police state?
