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
Seems that technology, which can be used to preserve privacy,
is being deliberately used by big business and big gov to take
it away.
