Re: Why no revision to SMTP to include authenticat
said by jjoshua  :
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.
This is a TIRED argument. Third-party relay providers can simply set up TLS-protected, authenticated SMTP relay service on an alternate port.
