Distributed, worldwide projects like FreeBSD rely on communication between their members. When one project member in a position of responsibility denies the ability for others to contact him -- whether it was his direct choice or just because he chooses to use a mail server with inappropriate filtering -- then it harms the project. Try to imagine the situation if it was reversed. Suppose you were trying to send email about a problem or suggested improvement to someone in the project, but that person bounced your mail with a sweeping generalization like "Rejected: too many germans are spammers and you might be one too". How would that make you feel? I trust you'll take steps to restore the ability of our russian users (and other groups who may be filtered in bulk by your mail server) to contact you by email.
