That is what folk complaining don't get: you don't have the right to
use your employers email or a public email provider's email any way

Does your jurisdiction allow your landlord to interfere with

And unless your jurisdiction is hopelessly outdated, the same
rules ought to apply to interference with telecommunications.
In the medium term, lets kill the stupidity of mailing lists with a
protocol that works. NNTP was originally designed to replace mailing
lists. It actually works quite well at that. The only problem was the
IT-Dictator mindset that underlies it: newsgroups have to be approved
by the Commune!
