Things were different in the halcyon days of yore. I ran open
relays, we had real guuest accounts which could send mail, we had
anonymous telnet redirectors on open dial-in lines, and a nice
trusting computing environment.
So talking about how things used to be is of marginal
utility. We are trying to determine what is reasonable for the
project now.
