That's the way it is, yes.

Of course, you can't possibly justify this behaviour, and thus should
never consider using their unethical "service".

They're just pissed off because not everyone in the world thinks they
are "providing a service to the community".  That's because they're not.

I wish they'd grow up and leave my secure machines alone, because _I_
know what I'm doing when I decide to block their unwarranted attempt to
relay mail.  They don't have any rational reason to add me to their
lists for this.  Keep me in their lists, possibly.  Add me, no.
