A Plan for Spam

We have too much unwanted email

Duh

Here's how to start getting a handle on it:
Create a "Do Not Spam List" Similar to the "Do Not Call List"

• Create a national database that includes email addresses to not send unsolicited email to
• Create a national database that includes all known spammers. Individuals that wish to report them and Anti-Spam software companies will compile this database from email notifications
• Require all US owned spammers to be registered or lose their domain names
• Do not allow any companies that reside outside of the US to own any name that does not end in their country code (<domain name>.co.au, <domain name>.co.nz, etc). This will allow all companies and individuals that use Anti-Spam software or Outlook rules to eliminate email from these sources
• If spammers persist and keep creating new domains, track down the abusers by their method of payment, or other means. Create a fine schedule that increases with the number of violations. Spammers should get one official warning before a fine is levied.
• If all else fails, revoke all IP addresses from the ISP that owns the addresses
