Except inasmuch as it would wave a hand in regards to when it's a DoS attack or the possibility and perpetuates what I believe to be a fast disappearing naivete' that the problem with spam is that it's messages a recipient doesn't want when in fact it's a highly successful, all out, attack on the very essence of the internet's infrastructure.
