[ncc-services-wg] can we / do we want to enforce mail policies ? Is it our bussiness?

Hello

Until today, i thought mail is for everyone. But today a customer of the
ISP i work complained about not being able to send email to one of his
co-workers, because his IP Address is in Romania.

So here I am, testing:

-------- CUT HERE ---------

[tbb at Hydra tbb]$ telnet 195.41.47.12 25
Trying 195.41.47.12...
Connected to 195.41.47.12.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 watt.pil.dk ESMTP Postfix
helo pil.dk
250 watt.pil.dk
mail from: tbb at ines.ro
250 Ok
rcpt to: nanna at baconcph.com
554 Service unavailable; Client host [80.86.96.6] blocked using
ro.countries.nerd.dk; Your IP is in ro, rejected based on geographical
location
Connection closed by foreign host.

-------- END HERE ----------


Now... I think this is stupid. Anyone has same opinion? OR all romanians
should be banned from using a computer? Should I complain to RIPE-NCC?
Can they help? (Afterall, they delegated the 195.41.47 block)

Should I ask permision from RIPE-NCC to register my IP space in a
different country?
