Please pay attention.

I didn't say that the final recipient shouldn't make the call, I said
that he should make the call before the mail is accepted by his mail
server, so that the spammer doesn't get another $currency_unit for
sending his spam.  This necessarily means that no mail client sees the
spam, which in turn means that Evolution is not the place to do this.

Clearer?
