In this vein, I have spent most of the last four years working toward a kind of solution. But after four years the best I can say is that I've learned a lot. Also I have a preliminary offering at Mailscreen.net, but I grant this is so blunt and unrefined that it will please almost no one.
My work on spam mixes in a heavy dose of my philosophy, which is libertarian. I mistrust government and hope to see solutions developed by private free market entrepreneurs.
On my to-do list, after I get caught up in the J2EE course which I'm slogging through <http://www.javapassion.com/j2ee/index.html>, I want to put up a blog focused on a search for market-oriented network protocols. I posit that basic protocols at the IP level would contain better provisions for assuring the mutual gain of participants if those protocols had evolved in a marketplace between business traders, rather than having been developed on contract for a monolithic power (the US Department of Defense).

This is something that I already developed last fall at the sender MTA side ("AddServerSignature" mailet), but stopped because I was counting on having a MUA check at the recipient side, and Outlook Express was not behaving correctly.
The threads were "From email address validation" and "[PROPOSAL] Release Plan" in this list.
This thing could become important in my country (Italy) also because the Italian Government is setting new rules regarding MTAs sending back signed receipt confirmations, in order to have email messages become legally valid etc. I'm going to dig a little around this.
Perhaps other countries are doing something similar now ...
Any thoughts?
