But by your argument, any action done by an MTA should/could be done by IMP.
 For example, IMP could surely be coded to do its own SPAM checking, and
this would make the spam logs shorter and would cause users to think about
the kind of messages they are sending.  but does this mean that IMP should
handle it?

there needs to be some line drawn in the sand as to the limit of features we
will code into IMP.  preventing duplication functionality already present at
the mta level seems like a sane line to draw to me (and, it seems, to the
other developers also).
