The email analogy is completely idiotic. The chain is not your email account, and you do not get to decide what goes into it. Block size is the only factor that can reliably prevent what you think your mempool policy prevents.
Spammers can configure their nodes to directly talk with mining pools, or even just directly send the tx to some web page, if that's even too much hassle for them. You think you'll have prevented spam, but in reality, you'll just accept it normally once it gets confirmed in the next block.
And technicalities aside, you're simply pushing us further toward censorship. There's no universal definition of what constitutes "spam". You just don't like JPEGs, and instead of accepting the network's inefficiencies as a tradeoff for zero trust, like an adult bitcoiner, you've taken it upon yourself to act as the sole arbiter of what qualifies as spam.
