But you do want the pain of keeping SPAMmers off your mail server? Just think how much grief you'll get from your email community when a SPAMmer sends 100,000 emails through your system and the users can't get their email b/c its busy and then can't send email b/c your server has been blacklisted and no one will receive email from you??? It certainly comes down to a "least of all evils" decision. As do most security decisions. I don't want to carry a gun, but if I were to carry large sums of money regularly, I probably would carry a gun or stop carrying the money!! So your email users could decide to not use email if that is the best decision for them after all things are considered.
