I still think a protocol implementation may be the answer. Maybe in smtp. If
someone chooses for no spam maybe a single bit in the packet could render
mail servers to not add the e-mail address to a spam list.
Yeah. It could. That's assuming that spammers were running servers that would
check that bit.
This is a non-starter for the same reasons an "adult" bit for IPv6 addresses is
a non-starter (hint - what if I don't want pr0n or investments in fraudulent
fund transfers in Nigeria, or personal field engineering changes on my anatomy,
but I don't mind mail about new software for my operating system?)
