   From a privacy point of view, the fewer hops, the better.   If privacy is
the top
concern they need to use S-MIME anyway.    If delivering their own mail
directly is a top
priority, why are they using DSL, which typically has no SLA and only best
effort delivery
designs?   DSL works great for Joe Sixpack web surfer / E-mailer.  It often
works great
for small businesses.   It is often not suitable for ultra-reliable mail
delivery.
