Hi,

well, I do not know anybody at Palau and so have no real need to exchange 
mails, but I
feel that this attitude seems somewhat drastic.
Some companies might do the same for bigger countries, also on the reasoning
that they (the companies operating the server) do not expect their users to 
communicate
with these places.
I know for sure that, a few years back, roadrunner decided to block former 
state telecom
in germany - which served an estimated 25% or so of private email addresses 
here at that time.

Regards
Wolfgang Hamann
