This raises the question.. is there already an IETF group thinking abouut
the general problems/solutions of commercial mailings?  If not, should
there be?  It's becoming a major issue for the online services, and I
assume for the ISPs and listserv owners as well.  You can't assume that
they're being sent from a known account anymore, so the simple threat of
punishment isn't enough.. 

I don't want to take this thread too off-topic, but it's a subject of
great interest to me.
