The message
from "Franz Heymann" contains these
words:

Just the legal costs of defending such an action could bankrupt some
(if
not all) small ISPs though, which is why Zetnet for one wrote a
killfile
into its software, but won't intercept it on the server.
And who on earth is going to do the suing or prosecuting? Which
masochist
wants to make a laughing stock of him/herself?
It only needs a disaffected spammer to report that mail is being deleted
by a named ISP, and the police *MUST* investigate. How thoroughly they
do so is another matter. Remember, this is a criminal matter, not a
civil one.
Then, if the police do investigate, and are of the opinion that there is
a pima facie case, they must pass the matter to the DPP.
The spammer becomes irrelevant. (Or a hippopotamus)
And the whole exercise ends up by being a big footshooting. Soon after the
first case of this kind comes to court, there will be anti-spamming
legislation. Then the spammer has really become irrelevant.
