Well, if you consider ORBS to be an office of any kind, than its
policies are official.

You might really want to do that if you are an ISP doing a lot of
dial-up/cable/whatever retail ISP business - on some of your servers,
you might want to accept SMTP connections from your direct customers
only. Doing that at the MTA level might not be your preferred approach,
but blocking it at the TCP level might serve you very well. Unless, of
course, you want to dance to the ORBS tune.

Sure. After all, it's your system. And whatever you gain or lose from
your policies is up to you and you only. Unless, of course, you're a
monopoly, in which case we hate you with all our
government-regulated-free-market-loving guts.
