The third party should not block mail.
Why not? They do so today, for short periods at least. It's called
congestion control. There's no guarantee that *any* packets will make
it from the sender to the receiver. It's just common practice that
*most* packets do make it.
What I would say is that the third party should not treat email
differently than any other network protocol, unless specifically
requested to by the receiver.
