Treat them sort of like SSL certs now.  Charge an annual registrar fee
per company, not per server. (Something like $100 a year)  The more they
have to go out of their way to get their spam server online, the more
they would be deterred to do so.  They're only going to want to change
so many ISP's, go through SWIP and then change their legal name for the
registrar so many times.

Why donĀ“t you just start using SSL certs with SMTP ? The protocol is there,
ways to get certificates are there, no need to start smoothing a square
piece
to make a new wheel.
