Probably they pay their workers to add all offending IP/Hosts
address into their /etc/mail/access files? LOL, just kidding.

But... at what cost?

You want google hold your messages and do whatever
they deem fit with it?  Maybe I am such a fool when it comes
to privacy/security since Echelon/NSA gets `em all off the
Internet cloud anyway...  and I am such a dreamer
[or an ignoramus] for having my own [private but public?]
email server...

Oh well...  I'll keep on dreaming... just for the [losing]
principle of it all...  LOL
