In the way you describe it any spam filter is bad any spam filter manufacturer should go to jail... On Wed, 9 Aug 2006, Allan Poindexter wrote:

So it is OK so long as we only defame a few people and potentially ruin their lives?

Hmm. Let me think a minute. Nope not buying it. I have already given two simple solutions that don't involve potentially dropping job offers, wedding invitations, letters from old sweethearts, and other such irreplaceable email. Certainly it is impossible to guarantee all mail gets delivered. But to intentionally make it worse by deliberately deleting other people's email is arrogant and immoral.
On the other side what do we have for those falsely defamed? I suppose we could psychically contact them to tell them their mail was deleted. Certainly email won't be reliable enough after these guys are done with it.
If they worked for the post office these guys would be in jail.
