As a general principle, most systems could handle spam if they
published a policy for accepting spam (# of messages, size, arrival
rate, bandwidth, etc.), and then the spammers *followed* that policy.
Given that spammers have made it pretty clear that they will stoop to
anything to try to shove their junk into our MTAs, I don't see how
publishing a policy could be of any use unless it was soemthing like
my old NO UCE banner with lawsuits to back it up. Anything more
complex than a single bit for spam/no spam is overimplemented.
