I do have legitimate reasons: simply the fact that I don't like other 
people being told where I am. Nothing to do with spam. The standard 
procedure of (nearly) all SMTP servers seriously compromises your 
privacy. Nobody seems to realize this! Or to care. There is a lot of 
talk about Google and others reading your data, extracting useful 
information, making statistics, selling them, etc. This is all true, 
probably, but it is nothing compared to the fact that when you send an 
email via SMTP, there is a 'tag' attached which tells the recipient "the 
sender is currently in this location". I see this as much more 
disturbing than having my whole emails read by a computer algorithm and 
by people who are totally unrelated to me and who are probably 
uninterested in me as a person, whereas the recipients of my emails may 
have all the reasons to be interested in me particularly.
But this is a discussion that already took place on this list. For 
anyone interested, see:

BTW, I am no longer interested in the webmail-powered solution for CM. I 
have linked to these posts only because they contain the explaination of 
the privacy threat.
