What I AM suggesting however, and I realize that this is a hard pill to

That view is popular, but it's quite wrong.

What /is/ true is that mailing list traffic by users of large mailbox
providers, through small, independent mailing list providers, is
probably negligible.  That's the category of primary victim of the
recent change.

Right, which is what we're talking about.

If all my message traffic is on internal only systems (such as the social networking you described) then I don't care what my transport mechanism is; mail, XMPP, or RFC 1419. It's not going out of my network, so I don't even need to use an Internet standard.

So getting back to solving the actual problem at hand ....
