The proponents of "email peering" typically want to switch from the current model (millions of independant email servers) to a different model, with only a few big actors.

I just don't see where Carl advocates email peering there. More like "should J Random Luser be given control of mailservers" or "Should Wile E Coyote be allowed to buy Dynamite and gadgets from the Acme Company?" That, and "if you want to operate a mailserver, get a static IP" --srs -- Suresh Ramasubramanian (ops.lists@gmail.com)
