OK, I did a search for "spam filter" case insensitive, with partial
match, and all dates, checked all follow ups also.  I didn't find any
valid arguments for not putting in a spam filter.  I did however see
a couple of pissed off people with apparent open relays, or maybe it
was just a bad way of implementing the spam filter which said, anyone
not explicitly trusted, is untrusted (there are *definately* valid
reasons not to do that).

I'm not saying there are no valid reasons.  Anyone who was following
those discussions, please post a summary of the arguments given.
