Plus or minus begging the use of the conditional "should" I'm not
necessarily in agreement.
Unfortunately, spam is often (nearly) indistinguishable from a
denial-of-service attack.
As I've reported here previously I've had the same spam spewing
simultaneously from over 200 different IP addresses.
I don't believe that an acceptance that filtering should best be per-user
doesn't preclude administrators taking steps to preserve their systems
in the face of "attack".
