Although that's useful for some situations it's a not at the heart of the spam problem, or is just one small facet at best. People you don't know, like perhaps me right now, will send you email which isn't spam, and which presumably you're ok with receiving. So, it's not the overriding problem with spam.

IF the overriding problem is due to an inability to identify and authenticate the identification of the sender, then let us work on establishing a protocol for identifying the sender and authenticating the identification of the sender and permitting the receiver to accept or deny acceptance of traffic by reference to that identification. -- Requiescas in pace o email Two identifying characteristics of System Administrators: Ex turpi causa non oritur actio Infallibility, and the ability to learn from their mistakes.
