Put a price tag on that. If you are selling a product, how many
dollars worth of orders are you willing to discard because the
potential customer sent a request for information through a
public access point instead of their own ISP?  Discarding their
mail is the only way you can _make_ someone else do things
your way.  Is it worth it, when what really matters is the
individual authentication and/or the message content?  I just
don't see much value in some untrusted third party's claim
of authentication.
