Or he could just not like NSL and the fact the ISP's are required to abide by them. If people want their email going through where it can be snooped apon that is their perogative. Just don't force people to have to use I-WILL-SNOOP-ISP!!!
Who said anything about being required to use your ISP's mail server? I don't think I have, ever. You need to use one with a static IP and reasonable rDNS, which could be anywhere.
There you go forcing people to jump through unnecessary hoops to send email. No you do not need a static address to send email. No you do not need a PTR record to send email. None of this is REQUIRED. It is forced on people by a cartel of email providers.
Also, if the snoops are interested enough in you to drop an NSL on your ISP, you have worse problems than running your own mail server will solve.
