That sounds good in theory, however, what happened in practice is
that many of us signed up at rahul.net because we accepted at
face value claims that junk-mail filtering could be turned of
entirely, on a per-user basis.  The reality that a2i was using
global junk-mail bouncing of various sorts only emerged after
user complaints.  (And only after many of us had widely
circulated our rahul.net email addresses, placed them on our
business cards, etc.)

And again, it's not "lower cost" if you're losing business email...

I don't mean to whine about this too much; a2i is still the
best provider around; but I'd like to see some plan by a2i
to ultimately improve service by getting rid of RSS blocking
and similar non-conforming aspects of the email system.  I don't
expect it to happen overnight, since it does involve resource
allocation, but I'd at least like to see it stated as a goal.
