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.

But John - of course any spammer will respectfully honor a "no solicitations" flag, either delivered by RFC 3865 or the DNS Text record the OP is requesting... :).
