"redirects all unsolicited, inbound requests through such a service"

How does he determine that the mail is "unsolicited" exactly? His email address is already out there in a zillion places. What do you suggest he do email everyone who has his email address and reject all mail to the old address? Or that he create a white list? Not going to happen it would take to much time to set that up from scratch.

mention to his audience that he will entertain unsolicited inbound mail only through such a service (not guaranteeing a response, but higher probablity that he will read). he of course cant go removing his email from all the existing places, but instead going fwd try to use such a service as his incoming channel for unsolicited, inbound msgs.
