The problem is that it does nothing to address rogue spammers who refuse to
respect the opt-out list.

Subject: RE: The utilitiy of IP is at stake here/spam
Would a solution to manage spam by as "simple" as to have a central email
address registry database were consumers can opt out from receiving any
spam
email? Very similar proposition to the current direct marketing
"do-not-call" lists. Such an approach coupled with enforcement may be an
option. Basically this approach put the onerous on the spamer to comply
and
check if an email address belongs to a list.
