You would be right if people had a choice of subscribing but many people are forced to accept whatever their employer puts in place.
He who pays the piper calls the tune? Surely any business operating an email system does so for the benefit of the company/enterprise etc. If individuals want to receive emails that don't match that policy then they need to have a personal account that allows them to do so. Which brings us back to advice offered for example to people in Frank's position that they get the mail from this list directed to a hotmail etc account or run their own server where they can set policy for themselves.
