Net Neutrality has nothing to do with SMTP receivers. It has everything to do with network carriers and QOS. You have no inherent right to send email to _my_ MX, nor anyone else's. Your rights end where mine begin. If I chose to drop your SMTP connections due to the rDNS name of your sending MTA, its status as being listed in the Spamhaus PBL, or any other reason, that's my right, and dropping you does not in any way infringe upon _your_ rights, because in this case, again, you have no rights. If, after reading this, you feel that receivers who reject mail sent directly from your residential IP are infringing upon your rights, then we can safely file your comments into the kook folder. -- Stan
