Hi Andy (and all who responded),
Thanks for the heads-up on the redirection on SMTP traffic. I've yet to see an implementation of it but I agree that it's a possible solution.
As for the issue I raised previously, perhaps corporate users isn't a good example but what about users of email services such as Gmail and the like?
