Just because you should by default accept mail from everyone
*unless* the sender proved to be nasty/harmful/mailicious etc.?
what if the look quite plausibly harmful?
Right. I didn't get the message you were responding to, so I looked in
the logs and see the IP is in the middle of a block at OVH that gushes
spam so it went straight to the spam trap. The logs say that it's the
only message of the last several hundred from that block that arguably
wasn't spam, so that's a pretty low error rate.
Well, Gmail is basically "free stuff" as well. Yahoo is "free
stuff". In my country, Onet, WP and Interia are big free e-mail
providers as well. Should nobody accept mail from them just because
they are free?
They manage to keep the ratio of good mail to junk acceptable. As others
have pointed out, whether they're "free" is open to debate.
