        Not that its my job to defend them, but I don't think its a lack of
brains.  Their system allows the actual end mail host owners, who are often
a hop, skip, division and organizational unit away, to control mail delivery
for their own domain without requiring a centralized authority to "know"
about all those edge servers.  And in Xerox, anything that saves an edge
admin from having to convince centralized Xerox that they should listen to
him is an absolute blessing...
