You demonstrate limited facility to construe the analogy.

The "solutions" that have been offered effectively result in concealing the
fact that the ultimate origin of the mail is a dynamic IP, therefore this
is like asking people with the "wrong color skin" to paint it an
"acceptable" color.

What mechanism do you propose that people on dynamic IP's use to identify
their mails as non-spam while still making direct SMTP connections to the
MX host of the destination domain?
