Whitelists are pain, and especially when not modulated by other information such as a DCC bulk indication or some sort of bad reputation. For example, judging from my tests sending mail to a test account with default settings, Hotmail assumes mail from strangers is spam. (It's no surprised that junk advertising from Microsoft to a Hotmail mailbox is evidently not from a stranger.) If you are a conspiracy theory fan, you might see such policies as part of an effort to box people back into the old media model of a few government/corporate senders and zillions of passive receivers.
