That may "sound" like SC, but certainly misses the important step of
allowing you, as the user, to review held emails and release them
yourself. Sounds to me like a lot of legitimate mail could be lost
because of a simple failure of the sender not understanding the need to
respond for the mail to be released. I understand even Brightmail
allows you to look at held mail, as does Hotmail and Yahoo with their
bulk folders.
I only have to think of an email from my brother with some very
important legal information, on his way to the airport for four months
out of the country, that wouldn't have met the MailCircuit's standards.
I think a blacklist is far better and safer than whitelist-compliance.
