We're not talking about bulk mail here. We're talking about messages between individual users, including such things as doctor or vaccination appointments, meeting schedule coordination, etc, which both affected parties consider important. Some occasional small mailing lists for group information exchange, too. No marketing stuff, social media notifications or other noise that people wouldn't miss. I'm pretty strict myself when it comes to blocking spam-emitting sites. And of course, it also happens that we block some IPs or IP ranges due to spamming and some time later it turns out that the same hosts are used by legitimate senders. We have several mechanisms in place to detect and remedy such situations quickly. And when we notice spam floods (such as the current hotmail bot flood) from mail systems we're going out of our way to implement very specific filters that keep out the drek while allowing legitimate mails through. It's really not necessary to play devil's advocate here. It's the devil, he can defend himself quite well if he chooses to speak.
