  Define "protect".  The ISP simply says they need to "prioritize" which
emails they accept, to avoid...

  - their mailspools overflowing and servers crashing
  - being forced to buy such huge DASD farms and powerful mailservers
    that they price themselves out of the market paying for them.

  Does that look like "protection"?

Email users are divided into two classes;
1) Those who have effective spam-blocking
2) Those who wish they did
