Interesting. 

But as a sys-admin, my gripe with spam is the utilization numbers it inflates. 
Client side filtering won't solve that, or the bandwidth problem.  It is much
better if they recieve an SMTP closed connection.  My testing indicates that
when the MDA dumps the connection for delivery to an address, after a bit they
stop trying.
