Spam-proofing the mail system
The more successful people become at filtering, the less penalty is applied to the spammer. Surely that is not what you intended.
Indeed that's not what I intended. Filtering spam would have the same effect as what I described as blacklisting; accept the payment for the spam but throw away the message unread. It costs them a dime but they have no idea if the message was ever seen by human eyeballs.
