However, some employers also have policies that forbid access to alternate mail sources (hotmail & ISP accounts) for legitimate reasons. This leaves some one like Frank having to follow work related lists that run foul of the corporate filter in their own time from home.

This is a list for network operators, which doesn't just mean telcos and ISP's. My view is that discussion of spam filtering is appropriate.
