Our reason went like this: many email clients will assume that “bob@???” uses either “foo.org” or “mail.foo.org” as a mail server.

When the only way to have working SSL is for the client to know about “shared49.somehost.where-is-this.com”, the client and server have to be smart enough to do autoconfig, or the user has to type that in manually. This makes for a worse user experience and increases support requests.
