If people want to run their own SMTP server, pony up the money and pay for an account that supports it.

I'll be curious to see how SPF manages to cause headaches, assuming it ever gets widespread acceptance. If companies don't adopt the alternate port approach, they're going to have a ton of extra work.

I can't speak to the validity of this solution, but I have to point out that there are folks like myself who do not have any alternatives for broadband except Comcast.

I like to think of myself as competent enough to run my own SMTP server without causing more spam and problems for my ISP. My beef is that Comcast does not provide an account that supports me running my own SMTP server at any price. So telling people to pay up isn't the answer either.
