Ooooooh… where to start? Anyone who has worked in the email biz could 
spin a tale, but the short version is that internet protocols do not 
evolve towards efficiency, and few developers are driven by an ethical 
adherence to standards.

I would wager that the MailMate code base, as just one example in this 
industry, is at least 10% specific checks and workarounds for known bad 
actors. Probably more.
