I agree that this is a potential problem, but I think that giving
spammers free advertising by default, and thereby encouraging abuse even
more, is a more important problem than having to set up an account for
the board admin in those cases that the admin does not have that
already.

If I were to choose between a smtp server that is an open relay by
default, or one that isn't but requires an extra configuration step in
some cases, I'd definately choose the latter.

Sure, we will, and I think there's a better solution possible than this
one. We'll work on it, but reverting this solution only swaps one
problem for the other.
