I have had this debate with my partner system
administrator. I believe this is a
"school of thought" situation.
I know users that would find this change to be
over their heads.
You, the Imail provider, may be expected to find
the information from their dial-up provider and
explain it to the user.
For most Imail providers it is just plain easier to
give the user a locally controlled, locally named
SMTP server name.
