When 99,9% of mail sent directly from consumer IP ranges is botnet spam, and I think that's a reasonable estimate, we have better things to do than to spend a lot of our money expensively filtering that spam for the benefit of the GWL who is too cool to relay through a mail server with a real name.
Or he could just not like NSL and the fact the ISP's are required to abide by them. If people want their email going through where it can be snooped apon that is their perogative. Just don't force people to have to use I-WILL-SNOOP-ISP!!!
