Summary:
"The companies ó America Online, Microsoft and Yahoo ó are calling for
technical changes in the way e-mail is passed around cyberspace to make it
easier to determine who really sent it and what it is about."
Did I miss something? What's this about?
This, the spammer suite, the ESPC Proposal. I'd say everyone's
jockeying for position before the FTC hearings
(http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2003/04/spamforum.htm).
According to the NYT article, AOL/MS/Yahoo don't have a plan
yet--they've just made it clear that they will do something together.
So if you've got a solution which requires a lot of mail servers to
make a sudden change--I'd say that's where you should be looking.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
