I ask, where are these requirements written?
You mean the requirement that the mail system be able to reject email from non-members at SMTP time?
I mean the document that says that backscatter is a mortal sin, not the document that says various people hold the personal opinion that it would be nice if Mailman would to stop all backscatter.
There is no such document. However you know that it's a mortal sin when you end up on several blacklists (and rightly so!) for having sent backscatter to innocent bystanders.
Not all questions of morality have to be formed into laws (nor can they).
