Back in the day, many Universities had email for life. It was easy
because the email systems were fully in-house operations, and the
world was a different place from a cybersecurity perspective.
However, in the late 2000s, most universities often outsourced their
email to cloud services for low to no cost to focus on more strategic
IT priorities.
IMO there's something wrong with IETF protocols when small-to-medium
sized organizations find it necessary to outsource such services due to
spam, malware, DoS attacks, etc.
However I'll admit that having non-organization people have email at a
organization's domain name has created at least some legal exposure to
that organization. While that's unfortunate in some ways, that's not
IETF's doing. The Internet is not the only environment that has become
more hostile over the years.
