I think it is not a correct behavior, if you can identify a message as unwanted 
why do you have to send it anyway?

Often such identification isn't 100% certain (in fact, no spam/ham distinction 
can ever be 100% correct).

Of course, if the message originated from a Microsoft customer it might be more reasonable to return it to the sender with an indication of what was considered questionable, but even the decision whether a message was created by the customer may be difficult in cases of mail forwarding etc.

Offloading the decision to the recipient at least ensures that no valid e-mail is ever prevented from reaching them, which is a (questionable IMO) legal requirement in the EU.

I'd rather prefer if they rejected identified spam instead of delivering it, but then I also want world peace. And a pony. With my luck, I'll get none of these.

Cheers,
Hans-Martin
