   Likely not, because although other servers get abused, they actually have   
   human beings running their servers who can deal with the abuse.  Google   
   was high profile, it is true, but the real problem is that they had the   
   same people spamming and spamming for years without any intervention.   
      
   There will always be spam in spite of the strongest policies, which is   
   why every site should be running cleanfeed, but google's complete hands-off   
   operation was a disaster.
