Greetings
Filter is ok. The receiver can go and look, if they know to and
want to look. It is not my cup of tea. I want everything in and I'll
sort/filter/delete it.
Blocking is not ok unless I request it. Better if I can set it up
and manipulated it. ISP's should offer it, not impose it.
If emailer tells me my message is stopped by a block I print the
email out with the block notice and original message and pmail it to the
list member whose mail is blocked suggesting they get another address.
They should not be doing personal mail on office systems anyway.
They can take it up with their ISP or administrator. I've had
"interesting" discussions with two IT folks from separate systems (both
schools systems) who asked me to stop pmails as they had had
"interesting" discussions with list members at their schools who missed
important information and wanted a piece of someones aft.

This is alas, a casualty of spam filtering. Its why I held out as long as
I could before I started doing filtering on my own mail servers. I didn't
want to loose legit traffic.
But even I have thrown in the towel on my idealism, and have started
doing server level spam filtering.
<sigh> a price we must pay since no state has yet passed a law saying its
ok for use to beat spammers with a rubber hose.
