I fear you will have to agree to disagree with just about anyone who
runs a large mail server.

1) It is not a solution because it does not stop spam. In fact, it
is easier to send spam through VZ's mail servers than just about
anyone else's.
2) It is a problem because they do not allow things almost every
other ISP does - things which are "standard" and things for which the
anti-spam community has been fighting to put in place for many years.
