In my opinion doing antispam in the outgoing is harder.
- First because definition of spam depends on what the *recipient* wants
and you have much less feedback from those recipients when you are on the
sending side.
- Second because you get paid from the one sending (or from advertisers
showing them ads, or from monitoring their behaviour), not from the one
receiving and it is harder to explain/prove that you are blocking that mail
for good when you don't have at least a complaint from a recipient, yet.

That message is probably a message that Microsoft himself will not reject
but probably put in the Junk if it was on the receiving side, so to let the
recipient take the last word where an algorithm could be simply wrong.
