We would prefer JAMES to refuse mail that did not match its accept
criteria. I have installed mail servers for many companies. I cannot
think of a single one that would be happy with the concept of paying for
the bandwidth that would be used up in receiving mail that it was not going
to process. (Regardless of actual likelihood of this happening, or real
world numbers, most clients are not keen on the /idea/.)
However I can see that that might be difficult to do with JAMES. We hide
JAMES behind a firewall for precisely this reason. It is not really such a
big deal in my current situation, because JAMES is never going to be used
as our corporate mail server. JAMES only receives mail that needs to be
processed by our java code.
Obviously, this is not the way everyone uses (or should use) JAMES. It is
one way of dealing with the spam issue, however.

Thats your opinion, there are good reasons why James accepts mail.
These reasons have been discussed a lot, if you want to find out I suggest
you check the mail archives.
James is not an open relay for spam.
