Well how about this, regular threads would get a random password attached to the subject line. New threads one must add a user password to subject line. If I have to type a whole email to make a post, I do not see why functionality would be sacrificed due to requiring that I type a password on the subject line right after my topic.
It would not be fully automated, but it would definitely beat, having a competitor spam the board with an email bomber. Can you imagine the work to clean that mess? Allot of sites are ran on shared accounts, all I would have to do is get an account on the shared server and then fake the headers and that could spell trouble for an unsuspected site.
I am not trying to be difficult, competition is though as it is, just do not want to give other sites a way to mess with my forum.
