This benchmark will impact any email sent to a good portion of our mailing lists because many of our consumer recipients use Yahoo! mail, Gmail, Hotmail, Live and more which all check for CAN-SPAM compliance.  Included in this group are many of the local ISP's who may have hired some of these companies to provide the emails we use today.  So, this standard is a good way to ensure delivery of our email.
