Glass houses... It may be true that your users can afford to give Polish mail a low priority, but don't pretend that Florida, US isn't one of the spam capitals of the world. > But don't be so quick to judge someone without spending the day in their > shoes. Exactly. By your logic, Polish admins should block all US connections. That approach doesn't support international communications very well, and punishes the good guys. As an admin, your goal is to connect legitimate parties, even if that represents only 3% of your connections. Unfortunately, your users are unaware that you are throwing out the baby with the bathwater. What if they or their associates are traveling abroad, and happen to be in a country you have firewalled? There is a risk you will block important messages.
