do you think that that comfort, which can mostly (if not totally)
maintained, is worth the price of being used for spam relaying ? (not to
mention the cost and hassle for the server administrators themselves).
Also, most of the GUI clients (l)users use, check for mail on startup, so
most of those users won't even feel a change.
Users who are intelligent enough to use a Unix MUA and fetchmail (or
whatever it takes to fetch POP3 mail to a unix system) are intelligent
enough to understand the change.
I'm not talking here about relaying for your domain, i'm talking about
having an open relay for the world, accessible from the outside.
