The rules that individuals and even enterprises use to filter their own 
incoming email is their own business, and I agree that's out-of-scope 
for IETF.

But that's not what I was talking about and I don't think that's what 
John was talking about either.   He referred to "well established 
anti-abuse metrics".   If they're well established, where are they 
documented?   I don't think it's out of scope for IETF to examine them 
or express opinions about them.
