I'm   with  Rod  on  the  "correctness"  of  enabling  ESMTP  wherever
available,  and  of course where necessitated by such features as AUTH
and DSNs.

Yet  I  think  the most compelling reason to support ESMTP on a public
mailserver  is  that connecting mailservers will not be forced to fall
back  to standard SMTP, which would mean a waste of bandwidth on every
connection.  Thus ESMTP is the proper choice for good net citizens and
those whose own servers are under heavy load.

Not to mention that IMail doesn't actually let you turn it off. :)
