well you can try to talk to earthlink, as many independent ISPs have
done, and the TIG is doing, and in the meantime ask anyone whose email
is blocked to use another email service (like gmail) and enable  
forwarding; also mention they'll have to use gmail to send mail.
I have no commercial connection with gmail, and none with earthlink.
Minspring.com also uses the earthlink rules, but though I'm not sure
of this, someone mentioned mindspring is owned by earthlink?
