I don't believe you can stop false positives -- if only because
people will have widely varying opinions on what SPAM (to them)
is.  It is, however, very dangerous to allow false positives
because if anything the perceived "reliability" of the Internet
becomes compromised.

I would recommend

"Any measure for stopping spam must ensure that all messages
either reach the intended recipient, or are returned to the
sender, or the sender notified."

How would this fit within the consent model? If a RECEIVER revokes consent for a specific sender, then messages from that SENDER cannot be delivered?
