Today's model is no different from what i have suggested in that they deploy

If they are costly, and if they use so many resources, then they're not
very good solutions.  It's not difficult at all to construct very cheap,
very efficient anti-spam solutions which exhibit good performance
characteristics (that is: low FP, low FN, no backscatter, no spamming,
no special MUA/MTA software needed, etc.)

The fact that some (many?) people choose not to avail themselves of these
methods is unfortunate, but doesn't invalidate the methods.
