Apologies for this addition, but I would also like to note that this specific scenario is a non-issue. If a service provider blocks mail because of user requests or any other reason, it is within its right to do so. Mail server farms are private property; no sender can have a subjective right to reach anyone's inbox, whether or not said sender's profits would be affected by its bulk mail not being read. I guess the bottom line is that bulk mailing is such a tainted industry that anyone who sets up shop therein must assume that their mail will be blocked to heaven and back. -- Thor Kottelin http://www.anta.net/
