The people driven away by this are not users of Hotmail and Yahoo.  Hotmail 
and Yahoo provide a webmail product and display advertisements on their pages 
and a small ad at the bottom of outgoing messages.  People sending messages 
with yahoo and hotmail return addresses, even if they have a valid hotmail or 
yahoo account, are not users of hotmail or yahoo when they send their 
messages outside of the system.

I cannot imagine a scenario where it would be in yahoo or hotmail's best 
interest to allow anyone one the internet to send messages with an 
@hotmail.com or @yahoo.com address.  The quality of their service will be 
improved by such a great deal if people can allow messages from the 
legitimate outgoing mail servers while denying the rest of the internet the 
ability to impersonate real or fake hotmail users.
