I will say generically that for an OP who has the time, avoiding content

You always have time to advertise content filters being "bad", so I just
have to make a pointless rebuttal..

Can you tell me any big public service (not a one man server) that doesn't
use content filtering at all? By public I don't mean a site that has the
ability to block freemailers, universities, etc hacked accounts..

In Germany many companies have given up on content filtering because it is not allowed to drop mail after accepting, if there is a chance that private mail *could* be involved. So with content filter your only choice would be to tag spam and let the user sort out, which lead to no advantage for using content filter at all.
So content filter are mostly a selling point and not a favorable "solution".
