Maybe consider that gmail.com is such a big source of spam exactly because the other routes are being warded off.

  Why is that relevant? All the barriers are just increasing the power of gmail, making it impossible to filter it off. It's mostly likely that the volume of spam will remain constant, whatever we do. But the current fight (led by Google, for some reason) is just breaking the email federation. By the way, now that we have all the natural language tools, what was made of content based filtering?

    It's relevant because spammers wouldn't go to the trouble of dealing with Gmail if they had easier venues. And I disagree that the volume of spam is constant. Also content-based filtering is already huge. The threat to the federation model is clear though.
