Exactly. If the process of deleting such spam is not automated, then the
spam protection is not really protecting anything, and in fact it makes the
spam problem worse by providing a mechanism of guaranteed delivery.
Is it not the consensus that spam should be prevented from reaching the
mailbox?
If a spammer included exempt headers then the process would not be
automated and the message would be subject to manual deletion. The
intent is that valid email would automatically be delivered
and anything
else would do something else.
2. About the contents: If a spammer would add headers to his
message to make it look like a mailing list, this message
would then not be subject to the other provisions of the
draft? Is there a separate draft/RFC to deal with the mailing
list/CR combination, or do you intend to address this in some way?
