*Required?*

The ISP offers whatever services it offers.  If those services don't include
something I want (e.g., wide-open access from the spam sewers of the
Western Pacific) then I can take my business elsewhere.  As it happens,
I have done exactly the opposite: chosen a mail handler who blocks very
aggressively, because once the traffic hits my inbox some of the most
effective methods don't work any more.

I worked hard to find my ISP, and you're telling me that I shouldn't be
allowed to have that choice?
