It's not "SMTP" or even "Internet mail" that people are blocking, it's just the server-to-server transfer part, not the client-to-server or any of the other components. And the reason the server-to-server transfers are being blocked isn't because of competition with those other servers, it's because of harrassment of those sites by ~your customers. This is all pretty different from blocking ~NNTP because you're mad that ~SuperNews is using your network to make money. -- Eric A.
