And if you will trust an ISP to deliver port 25 packets then why wouldn't you trust them to deliver email messages?
There are *many* ISP which provide a reasonable job when carrying IP packets but not an acceptable one when relaying email. If it seems a paradox to you, remember that loosing 5 % of the packets still allow users to work while loosing 1 % of the email is unacceptable. If you never met an ISP with a reasonable service for IP packets and a very lousy service for email, then it means we do not live in the same world.
