Just because this hasn't be stated explictly enough this week outside of Dubai, let me say the problem is that the underlying lookup mechanism isn't robust enough. If we only knew who it was doing the lookups, we could use the existing legal systems to solve these issues. Therefore, all we need to is replace DNS; SMTP can stay where it is in the stack.
