Many commercial news servers do filter spam.

And many don't.

Their reason is partly to protect themselves from being sued.

If they filter content, that means they _look_ at content, which means
they can be held liable for illegal content (for example movies,
software, mp3s).

Their defense has always been that they _don't_ look at content.
