Since we are, at least supposed to be, a bunch of research "gurus", do you have any research to back this up? Something that shows that either "a lot of senders" engage in this kind of behaviour, or that the few senders who do create a lot of problems.

In my experience, while this kind of spam is a nuisance, it isn't something that bothers people very much, it doesn't create serious bandwidth/storage issues and it is not a real security risk.
