This has the potential to kill mail (which for the Big Ones might

10 years ago, SPAM was told to kill eMail. Now it's the over-the-top
anti-SPAM solutions doing the same.

They are a small company servicing the geographically local
business community. I was a retail customer >20 years ago and
enjoyed the benefits of their growth as a service provider. I
avoid the so called "free" email and news-servers as they _cost_
too much.
