You state that your organization is a hosting toko only. Well, join the
club; Peter van Dijk and I both work for the same organization which is
also a hosting-only isp.
We do not have open relay's in our network. Whenever a colocated server
turns out to be an open relay I block port 25 on our border router.
Being a hosting-only-party means that all our customers dial in through a
dialup-isp. If you would name me one big dialup isp that does not have a
relaying smtp server for their customers I might consider your argument a
legitimate one.
Please do not this is not a flame to you specific. I just feel that the
single point of being "just a hosting provider" justifies open relays in a
network.
