It's still ridicules.
It seems to mean the ISP's will have to filter + log all traffic on
Port 25 going through their networks. Most companies, especially
banks, and government agencies, would have their own mail servers.
Even then email is a best effort service. Current email protocols
don't guarantee delivery. For all the ISPs log knows the email packets
could have been dropped by the firewall / spam filter. Just because an
email is sent doesn't mean it was delivered.
