I'd like to ask what people feel about making it a part of anti-spam
system such that if say somebody is sending same content message to more 
then 5-10 recepients on your server, then it has to be considered 
maillist email and has to contain proper maillist headers and opt-out 
information.

Of course, spammers can add all these headers as well but we can make some 
kind of black/whitelist of good well known mailing lists or even do some 
kind of stamp-like system to verify the email is sent from good maillist.

mailing lists and automated mail systems to work in an environment 
with lots of different anti-spam systems.  We *really* don't want to 
go back to the mess that existed 10-15 years ago with zillions of 
different mail systems providing completely different bounce 
messages.  Been there, done that.

Why wouldn't RFC 2919 and RFC 2369 headers be sufficient?

Why wouldn't yet more new SMTP gadgets only make things worse?
