1) monopoly isps
2) standard config
3) lack of ability to make 1/2/3 changes here/there/everywhere (config
drift) for customers not paying more than the 'standard'.

There are other reasons of course. Also, customers with their own
SMTP/IMAP services COULD just do tcp/587 'submission'... but we covered
that ground already I think?

I don't usually send an email just for a one-liner (unless it is very
funny), but a "thank you" is in order.

It was mostly a mis-understanding of the argument on my part, but that
does put some things in light.

Thanks!
