And although it would be nice if I lived in a world where the ISP originating the mail was filtering it, I don't live there. So unless you have a *realistic* proposal to make all the spam-haven ISPs find religion, see the light, and oust their spammers *without* the "do it or be blocked everyplace" (your plan B), it's not going to happen in our lifetime...
