Next, you'll be asking telephone companies to be filtering phone solicitors. How would you like that done, by NPA or NPA/NXX?
I can in fact do that today with Bell Canada's services. It's under my direct control though, so in effect it's more like giving the e-mail user ability to install "sieve" scripts in your Cyrus IMAP server or similar.
The determination as to whether an ISP desires to exclude or include data into the network should be based upon its business plan and customer demands and not upon anyone's political agenda or name-calling.
In general when speaking of SMTP server policy I'm not necessarily talking about ISPs alone. Not all e-mail on the Internet is delivered to ISP SMTP servers! ;-) -- Greg A.
