It's just another form of internet racism, with all the problems that
racism has always had: Ignorance causing harm to others. Entire top
level domains (or countries, or services, etc.) get discriminated
against, because of the actions of some. And the "I doesn't cause
problems for me" attitude (i.e. "I am unaware of any problems, so I
think that there are none") allowing it to continue to cause harm to
others.
Why do you think anyone has a right that means I must read, or even
receive email they send to me? I am entitled to ignore any email I
choose, no matter how irrational the basis for rejecting it.
hehe the greet msg on a couple of our private servers says:
220-This is a private network we do NOT have to accept email from you.
220-Multiple anti-spam measures in use.
220 MailScanner silently discards spam amd viruses.
I wanted to put that on the end user/hosting machines but that might be
pushing it :)
If this is not true, do you propose that someone must read any email
sent to them?
