I have a bounce message that has several sentences in plain English
telling the sender to stop sending email to the address in question.
Yet it gets ignored by people. When I ask why (assuming that I can
get the person to reply), the common response is:
"I didn't recognize the sender (mailer-daemon), and I know I'm not
supposed to open mail from people I don't know, so I deleted it."
And you expect them to click on an encrypted URL?
I think it works for you because you are a university. You're
dealing with a user-base that tends to be more technical and less
mission-critical. You aren't going to lose customers because of a
block.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
