I'm not sure I agree.
If my ISP is under serious attack from spammers, then some level of
"good" mail will probably be thrown out with the spam. The only way I
know of to guarantee that no "good" mail is thrown out, is to not
throw out *any* mail.
This is unacceptable.
We have to decide what level of spam we can live with, and what
level of false positives we can live with in anti-spam filters. If
lowering the false positive rate by 2% increases the amount of spam by
10x, then that solution doesn't scale.
I do not believe that it was ever a requirement to have
the ability to send an email with a return address one had
no right to use, and even if it were, it is not a requirement
now.
I agree.
