Debian rejects Sender ID
The truth is, people WANT to live with spam. Because they tend to accept the offers from the spam letters. No one would ever send a spam otherwise, because it just would not help advertising.
So, it is actually a possible scenario, where people can both 1) have a possibility to send the spam and 2) never receive any spam at the same time... but not on that planet, or at least not today or tomorrow. The possible social solution against the spam in that manner would be for the mail filters to get each detected spam message through, but with the banner attached to each message explaining why all the spam should be ignored regardless of the offering in it. But it is really hard to change people that way.
