Nonsense. UUCP mail has always been unreliable and insecure.  Don't go
comparing UUCP mail with USmail.  If you don't like the (free) service
my site provides, don't use it. I didn't ask you to send mail through
my site. I didn't set it up as a relay site. Relaying happens by default
and it would be an effort to turn it off.

You missed my point that as a system admin one can not promise not to.
But then, you probably don't know anything about running a system
anyway.
