Anyone who shouldn't be sooping on #1, or #2.
Basically everyone not in either party#1, or party#2

I am saying that the sender has the right to send anything they want.
I am saying that the reciever has the right to recieve anything they want.

THIRD PARTIES should not interfere with mail delivery.
This behavior should be illegal.

Can you give an example of such a third party operating today? I am not
aware of any transit providers doing so, and I would assume that MAPS and
similar blacklists would be considered "Receiver's agent", at least I
would consider them so. I would even consider transit providers and
exchanges agents for senders and receipients - what else are they?

This is a critical aspect of the debate and deserves to be made clear. If
all you are worried about is that PAIX is going to start filtering port 25
exchange traffic without telling the customers (which are ISPs), then I
don't have any serious objection your concern, although I would remain
concerned that it would be over-broadly applied, and have a "chilling
effect" on ISPs wishing to offer effective anti-spam services.

Or by "third party" do you mean the government?
