Well like I said before the business model is not to sue infringers,
although I've yet to come across an SMTP-level C/R system that kills the txn

We fully recognized (and disclosed) that server-level white/blacklisting was
prior art. We were purposely explicit in that this is a user-level or
user-controlled black/whitelist process which according to our research was
nonexistent before Jan 2000.
