10% is a pretty fat long tail. The people I know who run production
mail systems are much more concerned about receiving all of the real
mail than rejecting spam earlier.
Yes, I am NOT proposing it because I know it wouldn't fly, but it is
what I wish for. I simply expressed it to let the person with Port 26
suggestion know that I too wish for TLS everywhere.
I know in real world it won't happen even though I would very much like it.
What would happen, it would end up being an RFC that is ignored and thus
serve no purpose. Maybe someday, but not now.
