I don't block messages from him or to him. That is up to the user to
conciously decide if he/she wants to use Eel. What I do is make sure he is
not in my capability string. In my case, if a user selected random, random
and I happened to be the first random, Eel is not in my capability string
so my re-mailer could not forward the message through him. If someone wants
to, they can intentionally chain through me to Eel and I would let the
message go through.
IOW, it is not up to me to interfere with a message if the user
intentionally picks a chain from me to him. It just won't happen by random.
I think that is a fair compromise to all users. A new user, unfamiliar with
chains doesn't have to be concerned. An experienced user that wants that
chain can make it (I don't know why anyone would want to but, what can I
say?)
Personally, I have a strong disagreement with adding the giant disclaimer
at the bottom of the message. It impugns the integrity of the sender
(IMHO).

Or the "shouted out" PLEASE SEND COMPLAINTS TO IAMUPSET@HOTPOP.COM INCLUDE
THE NUMBER 777 IN THE SUBJECT to ensure that your email reaches me. PLEASE
SEND COMPLAINTS TO IAMUPSET@HOTPOP.COM in the headers.
Caps represent shouting and is poor netiquette when used incorrectly.
Others may not feel like me, so it is their decision to use or not use a
chain from me to him.
They have to conciously make that chain, it just won't happen by accident.
This is just my opinion and intend nothing further by expressing it.
