Filtering piddly stuff like this without consultation is usually unwelcome
at best, and a disruption at worst. It is also a serious investment of
time and acl resources which could be better spent somewhere else. And
lastly, it sets a bad precedent for what ISPs "can" do to proactively
filter. After all, if we "can" do this, why can't we also filter illegal
MP3 exchanges too.

One is envelope, the other is payload.

Until there is some technical means of "return to sender" for IP, filtering
bad envelopes is the next best thing.
