Just because no one is enforcing it at the moment, doesn't mean that it
will never be enforced. If you wish to start chasing people to collect
payment, then feel free to start doing it.

What we are doing is mostly what the listmasters believe is appropriate.
I'm at the point, where I believe that having much stricter spam
checking results in too many false positives, or causes our users more
trouble than its worth.
If there was a perfect solution to spam, we'd all be using it already.
