I don't think that is true..
As a provider for hundreds of Telco's and ISP's across North America, I
think we understand the challenges in both cases..
If the inbound server can detect that it is spam, it is easier for the
outbound server to do so, they have better insight and more data about
the behavior of the senders etc..
It is more about being afraid to adopt policies, because it might affect
a paying customer (sic, since most are not paying customers in your case)
But rejecting an outbound email because it is badly formed, should be a
normal course of action. And the trend will be even bigger this year to
hold operators responsible for content coming out of their networks.
This isn't an old argument, from 20 years ago when the big cable
companies had all the spammers on residential networks, before blocking
port 25 became the norm.
But seriously, the sheer volume of obvious spam from Gmail is getting
out of hand, especially when it is phishing or scam templates that have
been in use for many years.
Was going to include today's sampling.. but..
PS, when is Gmail going to stop using POP for their users to access an
external mailbox.. just a complaint I am passing on, as of course ANY
transmission of passwords plain text should not be happening

Preventing outbound spam on a large system is a far greater challenge
than stopping inbound spam. The technical challenges are similar, but
the logistical challenges of preventing outbound spam without pissing
off customers is /far/ greater than the challenge of preventing inbound
spam without pissing off customers.

This one was almost too funny, as in it's list of To addresses, almost
all the emails were related to addresses used to report malware.. looks
like an infosec member might have their email compromised, and took

with 100's of recipients, and many are not even real email addresses
you
wonder..
