This is currently the case. But lets say we have some real business to conduct. And lets say I send you some mail, and your SP blocks it 'cause someone used the DIP I'm on to spam some months ago. So then, our business gets fucked up. I think we'd have a real good case for suing the ass offa the SP(s) who contracted with us to supply the mail services. And if such a situation were to ensue, there would be a real good chance of uninvited government regulation. Bet on it.
