I disagree. Hugely inefficient. Polling is not the way forward, when it can be 
avoided.

Yes, white lists are a step in the right direction. A huge reduction in spam 
would come about from simply listing correct/acceptable email addresses for 
you. 99% of spam comes with forged from and to headers. If the To: header 
doesn't contain one of your vaild email addresses, OR a valid email address 
of one of the mailing lists you are willingly subscribed to, mark it as spam 
and just bounce it there and then.
