Please publish this as an RFC.  A collection of unworkable approaches
to the spam problem (anti-spam anti-patterns) is useful knowledge that
should be preserved and promulgated to reduce the Anti-Spam Kook problem.

On the other hand there seems to be considerable interest into declaring the spam problem unsolvable. I don't think it's a good idea to lend credibility to this sentiment by publishing it as an RFC.

How hard is it to agree that:

a) there will always be (some) spam
b) there is no need for it to be 50% of all mail
