I run a university email system not a free webmail service, so I have to
be rather more accommodating. Still, although all routes in to our main
email service (Hermes) are encrypted and authenticated, we still have a
trad smarthost which is mainly used by departmental MTAs but also by MUAs
when smtp.hermes is not appropriate (e.g. visitors who don't have a Hermes
account).
