Some people who have posted on this thread seem to think that it is okay
for ISPs to block access at will.  ISPs do not to this to block spam!  
They would have to block outgoing connections TO port 25.  All this does
is force people who want to control their e-mail on their own computer to
pay extra.  It is extorsion, nothing more, nothing less.
