Today, port 25... tomorrow the *WORLD* ha ha ha ha haaaaa !

An interesting extension:  If an AOL MX receives a message with an 
AOL from address from a non-AOL relay it's accepted for delivery and 
dropped in the bit-bucket.  Well, it's obviously spam (isn't it?) !

As I've stated before, default policies to prevent spam are fine - we 
all agree there.  But those policies must be published (they are at 
least not understood by AOL subscribers - I don't know if they're 
published) and any ISP that didn't remove them on demand (after 
subscription payment or some other guarantee) wouldn't get my money 
I'm afraid.  The reasons why have already been mentioned by others.
