Do you unsubscribe from mailing lists you merely monitor for interesting content, rather than subscribing to them, when some jerk fills up your POP3 maildrop because they have an axe to grind, and, as a result, mail which you consider "important", compared to the list traffic, bounces? People who advocate "receiver filtering" (either of the active variety, or of the "just ignore" variety) is the answer to all SPAM-like problems apparently do not understand the realities of many people using pull-based rather than push-based email transports. Please understand the technology involved before telling people how they should use it.
