You're free to answer this mail, but i'm not going to keep
on this topic; I feel it's time thrown away for both us.

If I get an UltraSparc from Sun as gift and I'm free to make whatever I 
want with it,
then yes, I trust it. Surely more than if i'm a big company that must 
choose between
buying another connection in another continent or asking a concurrent 
isp if it likes
to swap backup-mx service.
If otherwise you're talking about who give you connectivity... well, 
you know
internet. Even mx1 passes its routers.

as said, ip-based smtp rejection is rare on public mxs.
Of course the master can behave this way. It is really difficult to
me to believe it does, but if it does then yes, you're right it will
be a boring job to implement this.

ok, we agree.

yes. I don't see ~any domain on internet agreeing with you, at the same 
time.

friendly. bye
