I'd rather be able to decide myself which eMail I want to read.
So I'd prefer a solution that isn't silently throwing mail away.

The problem of determining which email has been legitimately
sent and which is fraud remains, because of fraudulent providers.
I think it is much more a problem of establishing the moral
rules, and their effects, that will hinder spammers. Is it true
that unsolicited faxes are less frequent than unsolicited emails?
If so, why? ;-)
