The analogy fails because ETRN service is advertised in customer service
agreements on ISP web sites. One cannot treat ESMTP EHLO responses as a
service offering, it is instead a capability advertisement to a peer
program. There is no harm in advertising the capability.

The only ESMTP capability that Postfix should perhaps offer optionally is
XVERP, both because it is not standardized (it can cause interoperability
issues with some clients) and it can increase SMTP response amplification.

A more fruitful direction would be to implement a new namaddr match list
called "smtpd_verp_networks" with a default value of "$mynetworks", and
then only advertise verp service to clients matching "smtpd_verp_networks"
and to not advertise XVERP unless the client matches "smtpd_verp_networks".
