Even if ATPS had taken off, there's a matter of scale: Very large mailbox
providers like Gmail, Yahoo, etc., would need to find some way to populate
such a list.  They could let their users do it (though getting users to do
more work to manage their accounts is certain to be an uphill battle with a
lot of configuration detritus as collateral), or they could try to automate
it (a non-trivial and probably open-ended engineering investment).  Neither
path is appealing.
