Re: So what do the customers get?
Mebbe so, but it's also trivially easy for the filtering system to strip the header when it deposits the message into your mailbox (after the scanning is done, but before you see it). |

I can certainly distinguish the spam from the paid ads in Juno Mail. They are eminently filterable in mail clients. Alas, I would have to pay for POP3 access to Juno Mail.

Said by article:
An incoming e-mail with a blue-ribbon envelope icon tells the customer that the sender has been accredited and that the message is from a trustworthy source. Something in the message has to produce that "blue-ribbon envelope icon". If that something ain't there, the MUA won't render it. So, all you have to do is set your rules up to auto-nuke any messages with that something in it.
