Except that, it doesn't close any "holes", nor does it improve up-stream
accountability.  Neither open relays nor lack of email authentication are
problems that are exploited by spammers.

All the BCP does is propogate myths that have never held up to analysis.
And somewhat worse, the BCP propogates these myths by assumption, without
discussion or analysis that reveals the fallacies of those myths.

So, this BCP should be rejected.
