A checksum of the mail is created and if the same mail gets
retransmitted after some time, it will be accepted. Virus-
and spam-mails won't be retransmitted, so they don't get
through.

How long will it be until the spamware or worm-propagation mechanism du jour will start retrying?


That sort of greylisting will at best get some short term benefit at long-run incremented cost (and at the expense of legitimate senders who are forced to bear the cost of queueing and retransmission).

Not A Good Idea[tm], IMO.
