If you go along with a scheme that makes you pay for receiving mail you don't want you have only yourself to blame. It's like giving someone your credit card with the 4-digit PIN code. You are even more to blame for hiding the fact that you don't want to receive messages from outside the BRD inside a LOUD signature which everyone would skip. Put it at the TOP of each message.
