mass-emailers that currently pay "vouching" services to improve their
delivery rates.)

Yes, they do, which reflects poorly on their performance and motivation.

Most of the people who sign up for vouching services are primarily in
some business other than e-mail.  Return Path, which is the largest
vouching service these days, have full time staff that basically watch
the behavior of their vouching customers and tell them to clean up their
acts if they want to stay on the list.  Some do, some don't.

I agree it would be nice if everyone who sent mail knew what he was
doing and scrupulously kept to best practices.  Unfortunately, we
don't live on that planet, so on balance the vouching services do more
good than bad to keep people who are going to send mail doing so
reasonably responsibly.
