The problem is that there's a large trickle-down factor to deal with. Yes,
after many years, we've *finally* gotten most sites to shut down their
open SMTP relays. We now get to embark on another Five Year Plan to shut down

However, the people impacted by the 69.0.0.0/8 problem can't wait that
long for people to fix their martian filters.
