Some ad-hoc and naive solutions may work, if you're not receiving

problem, it's a waste of time to talk about specific solutions.
Maybe it would help to look at separate problems and their separate
solutions?
For example, the problem of identifying senders as real-life individuals,
the problem of bandwidth consumption, the problem of recipient's wasted
time, the problem of expressing (or inferring) consent (or lack thereof),
and so on.
This might keep discussion a bit more focused, like "X solves the N
problem, but should not be considered relevant to the M problem." At
least people wouldn't be compelled to explain "X doesn't solve M" when it
was never meant to.
