In addition to what Shantanoo said, on a personal note - if Gmail gets
blocked - that has to tell you something about the client el they have.
Not all, but a large percentage.

Unfortunate as it seems, when ever email is offered free of charge, it
attracts users that are content in doing the things on the Internet that
most of us decent folks hate.

You know the saying, you get what you pay for... Personally, I could
care less if Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, and any others like them never get
removed from the spam lists.
