While it's true that a c/r system which whitelists senders is spoofable,
that's not a characteristic of all c/r systems.
For example:
a c/r system which only lets a single message through for each c/r
a c/r system which whitelists pgp keys (allowing through messages signed
by them).
Both of these require a significantly higher commitment to dealing with
incoming email than current spammers have exhibitted.
