Pro: Rejecting messages with errors in the SMTP commands will eliminate most spam.

The Pro argument isn't true.

Have a look at http://archive.iecc.com/article/spamtools/20050223008 or any page about greylisting. Even if the spammers' commands are correct, other aspects of their SMTP implementations appear to have certain defects.

no doubt. but that doesn't mean that stricter checking will eliminate most spam.
