I belive that regardless how nice this sounds it probably has
to be that it is default to accept UCE and that UCE-blocking 
is something that should be implemented silently and per site
and/or per user unless we cant get worldwide laws that bans UCE.

If all mailservers suddenly just says no the spammers will revert 
to use "MAIL FROM" instead from a very remote site in a country
that permits spam..
