That is why it is important to read and use the brain, otherwise you
wander of the subject.

Lets remember youre arguing with someone who clearly doesnt run
any sort of commercial email system because no sane person selling boxes
can simply block outlook...

The problem with your analogy is that you are not just interacting
with one unwelcome neighbour with a defective washing machine, but with
dozens of neighbours whose washing machines work perfectly but who
happen to share the same plumber as the unwelcome one. And in many cases
these people aren't just your neighbours but potential clients of yours.
If you refuse to deal with them on the basis that they use that plumber,
you're the one who will lose business.
I'm not sure the analogy works all that well, but hopefully you get
my point. Outlook.com, Google and Amazon all have millions of legitimate
customers from whom you might receive genuine email, and if you block
them because of their (relatively few) unwelcome customers, you're
throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Are you guys working for Google or Amazon or so? Maybe I
should give
something simple analogy so you understand.
If your neighbours washing machine breaks down, and causes you
water
damage. They have to pay for cleaning up de mess they created
in your
apartment. If the neighbour spills oil on your parkway, they
have to
clean it up.
Your reasoning resembles:
- the neighbour does have to use their washing machine every
time, so I
will just clean up their mess every time.
- it is only once of every 3 times the neighbour uses his
washing
machine, he floods my apartment, so that is ok.
- the neighbour has kids, they cannot be held responsible for
dad to
flood my apartment every week. So I will not ask the landlord
to evict
them. I will just clean up their mess every week year after
year.
- the neighbour floods my apartment every week, I think I will
teach him
this week how to use the washing machine.
- the neighbour floods my apartment every week, I think I will
replace
my wooden floor for some plastic foil.
