Yes, this has been discussed before; however given that
we have yet another instance of an a2i subscriber (Pierre)
losing business-related mail and causing an unneeded hassle
for his client, I think a2i ought to evaluate this again
consider whether RSS blocking is in fact the right thing for
a2i to be doing for its subscribers.

Rahul has said there is a dollar cost associated with not blocking
RSS; but there's also a dollar cost when people don't get email
from their (non-spammer) customers.  

Why not, as an experiment, turn off RSS blocking for say two
weeks for the entire rahul.net domain and test this theory that
the added load would actually break things.  If it bogs down,
turn it back on.   If not, leave it off and everyone is happier.
