Well, that is a desirable side effect, but an unfortunate number of people
are still operating under the delusion that there is some advantage to
running mail servers as open relays that can be hijacked massively by
spammers.
Over time, the size of that set is declining however, as more and more
have their servers crashed by spammers and/or have to deal with a sudden
massive influx of hate mail in the wake of a spmming/hijacking event.
