Worse yet is what verizon did when I started using them.  Their spam blocker 
was on by default,  and in the case of stuff that got caught,  it was deleted 
right away,  with no chance for reviewing bad catches (and it did indeed 
catch things that it shouldn't have,  emails from various mailing lists) 
before they were gone.  And nowhere that I noticed did they mention that they 
were doing this.  :-(
