It is not plain and simple. Anyone at all can send and receive e-mail whether
or not they are on the Internet. You aren't providing a place, you are simply
using network facilities for exchanging messages. You have no control over the
networks nor their users. Furthermore, you're not the host.

The only way you abuse your responsibilities is by making false claims that you
can control the actions of others.
