I'd like them to scrap it actually. So much bullshit you have to do setting up an email server so that GMail would accept your, you know, mail. And there's little demand for alternative services cause everybody has MS and Google mail address (or a dozen).

Spam is a bad thing, yes, spammers have to be fought. But again, I personally would prefer only obviously invalid letters (with spoofed From etc) to be discarded this way. There are local spam filters after all for many local clients, which is how you are supposed to use email.
