- None of those MTAs support SMTP AUTH.
(it's a broken way to do things, but that's the way
it is for the moment)
- Each MTA is owned by a different ISP, they reject
non customer source
- I am sysadmin for two of them, but I dont want to change
an infrasctructure element just for my case, and must refer
to hierarchy if I ever want to change those server setup.
- CPU cycles are cheap, for me :-P
