Ok SPAM guru's... why (other than laziness or ignorance) would a spam or 
open relay policing organization test for acceptance? How can accepting 
an email lead to an increase in free roaming spam?

I use the Unknown Account (against my better wishes, but I have a 
business reason for needing it), and ALL Unified Domain Accounts are 
essentially an Unknown Account (all those dirt cheap web/domain hosts 
that just give you one POP account that all mail for the domain goes to).

I would think that with what is probably a rather large user base that 
has an "unknown" account of sorts, that listing someone purely because 
they accept any email would be a major no no.
