Consider this instead:

  Section 108(c):

    NO EFFECT ON POLICIES OF PROVIDERS OF INTERNET ACCESS SERVICE-
    Nothing in this title shall be construed to have any effect on
    the lawfulness or unlawfulness, under any other provision of law,
    of the adoption, implementation, or enforcement by a provider of
    Internet access service of a policy of declining to transmit,
    route, relay, handle, or store certain types of electronic mail
    messages.

So, unless someone passes a law explicitly making filtering illegal
(and I doubt that any such law could pass a constitutional challenge),
YOU-CAN-SPAM has no affect on such filtering.
