I sent out one email recently and it was returned, saying that IP address had been put in a
blackhole, whatever that means.

I've had quite a few of those.

Yes, I agree, but paradoxically, the more this sort of thing happens the more of a problem it will
become and hopefully the more likely some action will be taken to deal with it.
I've never agreed with the idea of policing the internet in the past, but things are getting out of
hand with spam and viruses these days. Something needs to be done about it before the internet
grinds to a halt, choking on the sheer quantity of garbage going through the system.
