There have been a couple of such proposals made here:
Advance Mail Transfer Protocol: http://www.danisch.de/tmp/draft_mtp.txt
Adaptive Mail Delivery Protocol:
http://www.amdpmail.com/mod/fileman/files/draft-amdp-00.txt
This is one particular avenue that may be explored. The charter states:
"ASRG will consider the issues of deployment for proposed solutions,
emphasizing the investigation of methods that have a realistic chance of
wide-scale deployment." Therefore, I do suggest that these solutions should
not be the primary focus of the group. There are a number of short and
medium term solutions that can significantly affect the problem. The
question then becomes if what is left of the problem at that point warrants
such infrastructure-changing solutions.

Personally, I don't think that *any* solution that to be effective
requires re-engineering the entire world's E-mail
infrastructure is a
practical solution today. There's just too much of it, in too many
places, and with too little onsite technical expertise in
many of those
places. [..]
However, should we be considering a solution that replaces the email
infrastructure as a long term answer to spam?
