It's not paranoia - I host people who have been wiretapped. You might
have seen in the news where Apple was tapping the email of powerpage.org
for reporting information that Apple didn't want discussed. I now host
them. I also host a last number of political activists.
I do have smtp auth for people who know me who have accounts on my
system. But this service would provide smtp to people who are not
spammers - who don't know me - and don't have accounts on my system. And
I see no hard in it because it is a spam free service. So - I need no
other reason other than I choose to do it.
