From the Newletter publishers point of view, all spam filters have similiar problems.

The publisher has no easy way to review his newsletter to ensure that it won't stop his newsletter.

Now if each town made its own traffic rules and kept them secret until you violated one of them, I think you would be upset when you go a ticket.

Why can't a newsletter use all caps as section heads? Isn't this arbitrary in a spam filter? Advertisements pay the cost of developing newsletters, why should spam filters be biased against them.

Spam has only one effective place to be controlled. It is at the money source. If a mailing piece contains pornography or fraud it must be illegal to make a credit card transaction. Enforcement should go after the money side. If illegal email was not profitable it would stop.
