2.1.4  Encryption and Review of Mail

FidoNet is an amateur system.  Our technology is such that the privacy of
messages cannot be guaranteed.  As a sysop, you have the right to review
traffic flowing through your system, if for no other reason than to ensure
that the system is not being used for illegal or commercial purposes.
Encryption obviously makes this review impossible.  Therefore, encrypted
and/or commercial traffic that is routed without the express permission of
all the links in the delivery system constitutes annoying behavior.  See
section 1.3.6 for a definition of commercial traffic.

Yes, it says "encrypted". And for as long as I've been in Fidonet,
there have been sysops who treared encoded as encrypted and refuse to
pass such mail. 

Either no one has ever filed a PC about it, or the *Cs have ruled that
they are allowed to do so.
