Probably my opinion is not very popular here, but I want to stress out that
besides statistics ("gains" vs "losses") there are actual, indvidiual people
behind email as well. And these people *do* matter.
Block the spammers of course, but if there is even one IP address within the
"spammy" range that sends legitimate emails and not spam, and you get to
know about it, you should whitelist that one particular IP, instead of
blaming the sender for choosing "wrong" neighborhood to host their server.
It's like considering someone guilty of murder by default, because he/she
lives in a neighborhood where a lot of murderers live. We should never
believe in "collective responsibility". Everybody is responsible for their
own actions and for their own actions only, not for what their parents,
children, friends or neighbors do.
Of course, many of you will disagree. I know it as this discussion has been
here many times. But I will hold on to my position and never change it.
