3. The freedom of speech meme is one of several discredited spammer talking points
the lawyers are using. Much of this was settled in the spam wars.
- Nothing says the email must get through
- Mail servers are under no requirement to pass or accept traffic from any other server
- Admins are free to block whatever and whomever they please on their server without penalty
There is no legitimate legal argument here. Moral/ethical is another point.

A lot of us worked for years at some legal peril to establish those precedents so that you email is usable today. Are you arguing for the spammers?
