The problem is that the message still has to be accepted into the
system and processed, wasting resources.  If a few people on a system
use C/R systems, overhead is unnoticeable.  On busy mail systems, a
joe-job could become resource-intensive.  I don't know of a solution
for this.  It's still better than the victim receiving all of the
junk!
