    Yup. This is currently the case. But lets say we have
    some real business to conduct. And lets say I send you
    some mail, and your SP blocks it 'cause someone used
    the DIP I'm on to spam some months ago. So then, our
    business gets fucked up. I think we'd have a real good
    case for suing the ass offa the SP(s) who contracted with
    us to supply the mail services.

    And if such a situation were to ensue, there would be
    a real good chance of uninvited government regulation.

    Bet on it.
