But this is OffTopic. Freedom of speech includes the right not to listen, so it's none of anyone's business if a recipient of any e-mail decides to silently discard any incoming messages based on any criteria. If an ISP does that against a customer's will, then that's a matter between the ISP and the customer (I'd change the ISP right away if it applied to me and it weren't by mistake). Whereas deliberately forwarding spam received to a third party is never right and may even be illegal in certain jurisdictions. Maciej
