Reading this sentence was amusing, the phrase is ambiguous... you cannot
disable the *kind* of access (meaning method/protocol) he demonstrated,
because he demonstrated the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol :) but you can
disable the kind of *access* (meaning rights/privileges) he demonstrated,
because you don't have to allow unverified recipients.
