I also think it helps to
lower spam because less mis configuration,
ISP has access to logs for all mail sent (which may even be a legal
requirement)
lower traffic across routers (maybe result of faster transfer because more
direct)
If all mail servers only accepted mail from thier own IP space, spam may be
noticed much quicker, and its much easier to catch the offenders especially
when you would have acess to system logs, also you can ban a user from
youtr own system easier, for this reason alone it should be supported.
