Not to quibble, but I would have guessed several orders of magnitude
greater. Probably more. Also, for most of the world's 1+ billion users,
I'd have added "effective" to "efficient"...
I was thinking in terms of the cost of accepting, storing, and retrieving
the user's email before passing it to the MUA filter and only then
discovering that 90% of it is spam, as opposed to rejecting it at SMTP

Ahh. OK.
And, of course, I was thinking in terms of expecting/requiring users to do any
abuse-related processing. Human factors, usability, and the like. Yuch.
