One of the problems mail server admins face, are
people who throw up their
own mailserver at home. You don't have gobs of bandwidth, you don't have
multiple backup servers, and you don't have diesel generators and online UPS.
If you don't, you have no business running a public mailserver.
Damn straight! This isn't 1996 any more! At least use multiple and actual
real and available and well-connected MX backups.
What does being a good net citizen admin entail? Well,
for starters, it means
that you don't expect other mail servers to pick up YOUR SLACK.

It's not extreme at all.
If this is your "grouch mode" you're a better person than I!
