This would mostly be an inconvenience for people who don't send SPAM. A lot of people use 3rd party email services because we don't want to use the one provided by our ISP for various reasons.

Re: Why no revision to SMTP to include authenticat

tough - i'm sick of spam, and i'm even more sick about spam from bogus email addresses. true, some jerks have ruined it for the rest of us, but we all learned to deal with things like that when we were 6 years old..

This is a TIRED argument. Third-party relay providers can simply set up TLS-protected, authenticated SMTP relay service on an alternate port.
