Certainly that is implied.  And anyone building CR systems would be wise
in doing so.

We are merely specifying a protocol.  The actual implementation of that
protocol and the actions that are taken based upon specific messages are
up to individuals.

The intent was to see if this protocol provided a comprehensive set of
messages for CRI.

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?
