Unfortunately that would block anyone who has mail that originates from
a private IP, or a device on another network, but legitimately logged
into their ISP's SMTP server.

E.g., my Treo authenticates into my Earthlink.NET SMTP server to relay
mail, but I'm sure is originating from another network (Cingular).  If I
get a CardBus GPRS wireless card, same issue.

Community software is all about choice, choice of technology.
Unfortunately, too many Linux advocates port over the so-called
"choice" from the commercial software world, brand name marketing.
The result is false assumptions, failure to focus on the real
technical similarities, but loyalty to blind vendor alignments.
