Well, you're basically already at the mercy of the admins for those
ISP's. The filtering for my MailServer here is quite sophisticated and
includes the ability to copy all or specific incoming messages to
particular folders. IOW's, such a service isn't required for ISP's to
harvest your e-mail addresses as well as those of your correspondents.
