Protecting the recipient from spam through remailers isn't so tough;
I believe some of the exit nodes already pipe messages through
SpamAssassin prior to emailing them to the final destination.

Perhaps the fact the messages can be filtered in this manner puts the
spammer off using remailers. Their goal isn't to harm the network, but
to get messages in peoples inbox's.
