5 This is true, as far as you go over standard compliance checks and unserstand
6 standard violating (absuive) mail as "spam" in any case - it (not at least)
7 depends from what you DEFINE as "Spam" (or abusive Email).

9 Each working internet mails ystem (working means: is able to send email to the
10 very most of recievers) has to filter out some kind of mail traffic - at least
11 proven hardly abusive or what the majority of mail server admins understands
12 as "abusive" (otherwise your own users mails get blocked from others). This
13 means that you WILL block emails from regular users too, unable to send a
14 "correct" email.
