Even if you can fight off and block the spam, you are still using bandwidth (which I get charged for) in order to figure out if you should accept or reject the mail to begin with.

I like being a Smart*ss, sorry 
This is where RBL and reverse DNS can do a marvellous job.
The checks are done before the message gets accepted by the system, because filtering is done based on sender IP. This stops about 95 ~ 98% of spam at the front door, before bandwidth gets burnt.
Feel free to ask me questions, but I guess we can discuss outside this BB

Yes, since then I have implemented RBL and reverse DNS, which has made a major dent in spam and bandwidth use.
But Thomas is correct, most people are happy with a gmail, hotmail or yahoo account, so there isn't much point in providing a service like this anymore.
