It's almost to the point to where mail servers need their own "registrar", sort of the way domains are tracked now, track mail servers. Give mail server admins the option to accept mail from registered mail servers only or from any mail server. Of course there would need to be a ramp up period, like six months to a year, to make sure all of your mail servers are registered. And of course one should only be able to register mail servers if the IP space is actually SWIP to them. If the IP space is NOT SWIP, it would need to be registered by the customer ISP or via owners rwhois server. Just my $.02; for what it's worth....
Really good idea (no sarcasm, I actually like it).. But what stops spammers from registering their mail server?..Ie.. 1) Get a dsl account 2) Ips get swipped to you 3) Register the server 4) SPAM 5) Apologize, get a second chance 6) get booted off 7) Call the next ISP with a zero install 8) Rinse and repeat.
