Again you are wrong.

Email does work for sending documents of any size subject to local and 
remote limits (as it true for any method of sending $thing).

Not receiving spam is a separate issue. You are wrong to link them such 
that a failure on the latter is read as a failure on the former as that is 
simply not the case.

The idea that you can block all spam while not blocking legitimate email 
is simply a fantasy - just as you cannot avoid receiving some unwanted 
post via snail mail.
