solving such things.

otoh, it might be possible to develop technical mechanisms to make it 
easier to marginalize and/or prosecute those who spam.

The "technical mechanism" of the trust system I previously mentioned on
this list is being _completely_ ignored.  It is *THE* most viable solution
anyone has come up with to date in this thread and I am waiting for people
to respond to it.  And for those of you who don't want to re-write the SMTP
protocol, it even offers the ability to run across the SMTP protocol.

Hope this helps!
