You don't have paying customers for whom you relay email, do you?
I know as a fact that I wouldn't have many left if I intentionally
blocked mail they wanted, and the reality of it is that they want mail
from users of freemail services.
The sheer number of complaints we get when mail to Yahoo is deferred is
enough to give us a taste of what would happen if we did start
interfering with the flow of legitimate mail between us and Yahoo, and
Gmail is a much bigger player.
Luckily there are other tools available than blanket IP-level or
provider-level blocks.
