FWIW, I have a custom domain at a2i and I have nojunk turned off and
I specifically asked for no blocking to occur to my domain.  I post news
occasionally and I have web pages, which means my email address has been
harvested and is harvested on a regular basis.  (I can tell when.)

Despite this, I only average about 10 junk emails per day at a .com
address.  And as postmaster, I get all the misaddressed junk email too.

Obviously, I fall into the getting-all-email-is-more-important-than-
blocking-spam camp.  I can deal with the spam, no problem.  Perhaps
if I was getting 100+ junk emails per day I'd feel differently, but
that isn't happening.
