I think the inherent mantra and wise philosophy that gets tossed out the window by AOL in this policy change is "be strict in what you send, and liberal in what you accept". I'll gladly publish my dialup loozer list in a voluntary RBL so that other sites won't be forced to accept mail from hit and run spammers, but broadband connected users should have the right to run their own SMTP, and I don't trust AOL to be able to determine one from the other. Plus, it would be much better to fix SMTP once and for all than to create an e-mail schema that would allow Ashcroft and his gang of wrinkly re-hashed reaganite hawks any access to data that they could use to further violate individual citizen's privacy.
