1. the snoopers have to potentially listen to all ports 2. it makes traffic analysis (for SMTP) more awkward to implement 3. doesn't require use of a certificate / encryption. So assume that tcpinc (or SMTP+TLS) gets wide deployment, that still leaves 1 & 2 above. Maybe at the moment most users take advantage of an ISP's smart host, and so there would seem to be little benefit wrt 2 above. However one of the impacts of the IPB looks to be encouraging more people to run their own SMTP server, or at least one with a restricted set of users, when point 2 becomes more significant.
