with spam. What they have a direct incentive for is keeping delivery
rates up; it is just that sometimes a good way of doing that is getting
rid of spam.</p>

It's simply impossible for any small company to do this, and this solution would drop that task right back on the customer.</p>
<p>Like any paid service, if they are not providing good service, like letting spam through, people will move to another one who does block spam better. This is their incentive to deal with spam.</p>
