Breaking the RFCs is a good way to attract possible problems.
RFC1918 is Best Current Practices.
Are you implying that RFC ignorance is somehow expected from mail admins who choose to use, for instance, 66.130.24.110 (my current IP) as a private, internal IP address?
no, and I quit beating my wife, too.
Are they assumed to pick *any* dotted-quad address as they please and not be blamed
for consequences?
A lot of company's have full Class A's, a lot more have Class B's, etc, etc. And afaik, NONE of them are giving them back. A lot of them had their allocations well before 1996 (date of RFC1918), like 15+ years.
They have no need to use somebody else's IP allocation within their private networks, which is not what I'm talking about anyway.
