And I can consider the moon as made of green cheese -- doesn't
mean that it's so or that my opinion should get the slighest
respect.

Be that as it may, when my users complain about this, I explain
that I am not censoring mail, I am refusing to allow those who
won't play by the cooperative rules of the Internet the use of my
part of the Internet. This is why I use router blocks for abusive
or incompetently administered networks -- if they won't or can't
play by the rules, they have no right to use *any* part of my
network. Or yours.
