Why should large companies participate here about mail issues? Last I
checked this wasn't the mailing list for these issues:

"NANOG is an educational and operational forum for the coordination
and dissemination of technical information related to
backbone/enterprise networking technologies and operational
practices."

But lets just say for a second this is the place to discuss company
xys's mail issue. What benefit do they have participating here? Likely
they'll be hounded by people who have some disdain for their company
and no matter what they do they will still be evil or wrong in some
way.

It is easy for someone who has 10,000 users to tell someone who has 50
million users what to do when they don't have to work with such a
large scale enterprise.

I find it funny when smaller companies always tell larger companies
what they need to be doing.
