And who is to determine what is fit? Putting that duty on the mail
movers seems ripe for abuse. Our job is to move the mail, not censor
it.

There's two solutions I see - accept occasional SPAM as the price of
running a network, or require every sysop to validate each user before
allowing write access to the echoes.

One fits into the dual rules of Fidonet - don't be excessively
annoying, and don't be excessively annoyed. The other is untenable.
