Not necessarily disabled. But the Accept/Block lists were only 
operative when logged in to mail.msu.edu aka webmail.  The lists 
existed but did not have an effect when checking via a mail client.

And service sponsors decided not to try and bifurcate the data by 
age. All existing data in the lists, regardless of how long ago it 
may have been added to the list, was migrated.
