Trust isn't the right word. It is a level of service that you provide
to your peers. If nodes are cognizant of the fact that the level of
service they receive goes down if they forward spam, they will be
careful on the incoming side. Require peers to build up a reputation
before increasing the inbound limits that apply to the channels with them.
We can learn from the current situation in emails, that a system based
on reputation tends to concentrate the power in the hands of few big and
strong actors (gmail and co). If we have from the beginning a mechanism
to fight against spam by paying to send message, we can perhaps have a
really distributed system which cannot be censured.
