if this is what you think then you have missed the point

the point is the recipients server then retrieves the email body **if** it
passes initial tests (less load on network)

such as the class is acceptable, the origin (country?) is acceptable.

the act of retrieving the mail is in fact a verification of the identity of
the source server

it is this verification that holds the most power. spammers will find it
much harder to hide behind falsified information
if they do their ISP becomes ultimately responsible for allowing them to
spam the network


can have any real advantage. As Phillip suggests, existing
