I don't understand:

If a conversation with an SMTP server doesn't include a password, what 
will be the outcome?  Surely no one in 2005 aids spammers by turning off 
the default requirement for SMTP authentication (if they did they should 
be fired and forced to wear T-shirt in public reading "I'm the reason 
you get spam").

So if I understand you correctly it still comes down to the question: Is 
Dan comfortable handing is SMTP password to anyone with a copy of 
Interarchy or other traffic monitoring tool?

Did I miss something?  Are you suggestion Dan build a mini-SMTP-server 
capability with into his software?

He could always bypass email altogether and get a working system this 
afternoon with a CGI....
