I don't get it. I'm just an individual user. Do I need to pay Iron Port protection money for the privilege of not having my e-mail destroyed en route? Or does my ISP pay them, which means I end up footing the bill anyway? What happens when another customer at my ISP sends spam without my knowledge or approval?
