It is nothing of the sort.

Open relays perform a relaying function, which actively moves mail, where the abuse is a) obfuscation, and b) fan-out.

What you are calling open signer allows adding any domain's authenticated identity onto the message, which permits other sites to develop and evaluate the reputation of the mail stream that uses the identity.

The former is abuse.  The second is potentially useful.

Since you think otherwise, please explain.
