That is the beauty of this system.  The recipient ISP follows
your policy.  Your policy, so you _are_ (or not, of course) giving
permission.  And it is _their_ decision to block, tag, ignore, or
whatever else they decide to do.

And vice versa, you do not have to block mail from others.  You can
decide to handle verified senders with priority.  You can decide to
not use the system at all.

Even better, you have a way to _protect_ your business by stopping
impersonation. *YOU* decide which mailservers are allowed to send
mail in your name.  *YOU* can say that my mailserver, would I want
to become a customer of you, can send mail "from" your domain.
And *I* can designate your server as a valid submitter of email
"from" my domain.


Stop making those foolish remarks.  You don't even know what you
are talking about.  THEY (as I do not consider myself to belong
to "you guys") are not blocking anything. You, and your partners,
are in full control.
