I have never seen that a government tells companies to allow unsolicited bulk e-mailing. Of course laws restrict what you can put in the contract, but contracts between companies are much more unregulated than those between a company and a person, this at least in Finland.Blacklisting the provider of the offender just because they are practising what the government(s) is telling them to do is to me considered extremely unprofessional and I would never do business with anyone doing that.
I would be really surprised if you cannot put a prohibition to ube in the contract.
I don't think blocklist providers should consider at all if the law allows spamming or not. They should follow their own defined listing criteria. The blocklist users decide what they want to do with the information.
But they have, already. See for example Media3 and MAPS (circa year 2000), or yesmail vs MAPS, or Harris Interactive vs. MAPS, or Experian, or Exactis.I wouldn't be surprised if a blacklist provider with that kind of policy some day would be prosecuted because it is pretty darn close to three types of extortion.
Other blocklists have been sued as well, latest I've heard was Spamhaus vs. e360insight.
Yours, esa
