Good point - lots of ways around that though, and I think in many cases the reason they did that was to prevent spammers from using their netowrk to broadcast - right? If a mechanism like this is adopted as a spam killer, then their capture of all port 25 traffic is not required...

Personally I've always tunnelled to my home server for mail anyways - regardless of these traps - othewise I don't get my bounces...

But good point regardless

Personally I don't see that as a bad thing - it makes it a lot simpler to keep tabs on the spam problem, and since authenticated SMTP and open source webmail systems are so common, I would question why ANYONE would send mail from a foreign domain through a "convenient" SMTP server.

Becauase many ISPs will only allow you to access port 25 of THEIR server; if you're roaming onto their network, you must use their server, not some external one you can authenticate to.
