This is madness.   PSI don't want your news, they want your money - it's
PSI customers that want the news and email.  Dropping email designed for
the customers into /dev/null hurts the customers, not PSI.

I take it you don't pay PSI for any service yourself.  If you're trying
to persuade others not to either, fine - but don't do it with threats.

I'm not a great fan of the market, but it seems to me the only useful
way to prevent this happening is to set up competitive alternatives.
