Any attempt by senders to filter outbound emails based solely on

I find the idea of using different, probably less stringent, filtering
on outbound than on inbound to be hypocritical.
I find it tantamount to someone saying they only accept the most
pristine message while sending less pristine, and sometimes really
tarnished, email.
Sure, there are some differences, e.g. lack of user preferences.
Why the asymmetry?
Why not apply the same filtering for outbound messages as applied to
inbound messages?
Inbound content-based filtering is much easier to get right - not least
because the fallback is “just deliver it to the spam folder” -
and we’re not great at that.
I guess I'm coming from a different place. I always was more worried
about what I send and not upsetting the rest of the Internet than I am
about what I accept in.
