I think it's pretty standard practice to turn off cancels and use some
sort of spamfilter (e.g. CleanFeed).  I don't think NoCeM on spool is as 
widely used, but there are people using it.

Starting innd with the -C flag will make it not honor any cancels.  I don't
recall if there is an inn.conf option that does the same thing.
