I'm not sure what you are talking about with the cheating. Prior to purchasing, I put this system in a lab and was sending 20 messages per second through it (50% capacity on the mid-tier system I was testing according to IronPort). I pulled the power on the system and then fired it back up. The queues rebuilt and the last message that was accepted by the server was delivered. A soft bounce was sent to the senders who hadn't completed the SMTP conversation. I would love to know if you've tested or experienced anything different.
And yes, I purchased Brightmail, great technology.
ISPs and other receivers of email from Bonded Senders do not sign any contracts to use the service. If the rules changed to the DMA 4 pillars, how many ISPs and other organizations would continue to query bonded sender? This program would die a quick death.
Rule changes will be dictated by the receivers and I hope another Goliath begins using the program so MS doesn't "own" the rules.
It's a delicate balance and if managed properly is extremely effective for ensuring delivery of VERY legitimate bulk senders (i.e. CNET - 40M emails per month, 2 complaints)
Does Spam Engine = MTA? No
Has IronPort ever developled any products or technology to bypass spam filters or take advantage of open relays? No
Are you aware the IronPort is being sued by that scumbag Richter?
Check your facts.

Plain and Simple, it's just a better MTA. IronPort's original product was purchased by DoubleClick, CNN, Major League Baseball, CNET, AOL etc.
1 Facts to consider:
They've never offered a product or technology to get through or around spam filters or take advantage of open relays.
Get a clue.
Why does Spamhaus describe IronPort "without reproach"
I recently purchased systems from them and they are clearly on one side of the battle - the anti-spam side
