RFC 3665. Nobody ever used it.
I'm fairly sure you mean RFC 3865, "A No Soliciting Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol (SMTP) Service Extension" but you're right, nobody
ever used it.
We never thought anyone would, but there was political pressure at the
time from people who didn't (and I see some still don't) understand
the "voluntary" part of the way standards work.

If you don't want spam the first thing you need to do is make it
illegal to send unsolicted commercial email both from within a
country to anywhere and to the country regardless of where it is
sent from. This needs to be done by eventually by all countries
possibly encouraged as part of trade negotiations.
You then need to followup and prosecute offenders. You need to be
able to fine and/or gaol offenders. You need to be able shutdown
events that are advertised using spam tactics. You need to be able
to seize products that are advertised using spam tactics.
You need to be able to send a spam complaint to a single national
body which will distribute it to revelent national authorities in
other juristictions.
This won't stop all spam, but will reduce the amount of spam from
legitimate advertisers.
