If a host connects to a server it is not anonymous anymore. Connecting
to a server / sending data without the explicit permission of the user
(default no of course) must not be done by anyone who has the
slightest respect for privacy.
We should *definitely* *not* spy on our users, no matter whether we
intend to do something useful with the information.

You don't need a smtp server to send email, BTW.
