It's solving the problem. Guess how internet routers solve packet
overload - they throw random packets away.

There is a difference between throwing email away without the
consent/permission of its owner and throwing it away with the consent.
The people to whom I provide email are more than happy to lose the odd
real email so they don't have to read through all the spam and are far
more productive as a result.

Also your client case is a bit spurious, most people whitelist clients.
