SPAM is a luncheon meat. UCE is one of the many problems, among the
others being viruses/worms/trojans and their traffic (easily blocked by
the proper upstream authority), "outscatter/backscatter" traffic
(whether responding to joe jobs, viruses, or spammers trying to send
their crud to virus-generated bogus addresses, etc.), bogus reports
of forgery (cf. Sp@mX, for one example), C/R systems, autoresponders,
callback mechanisms, et cetera.
