Ok a few Network Admin that are friends of mine were out last week and we all agreed to post this somewhere. With the low volume of the board it is the perfect place to get our idea out and be tweaked.
--------------------------------------------------
Our idea is what we need to all MTA's to switch to a new idea. We need to have trust among MTA's and ban those who don't cooperate.
Here is how you start, all the root servers add a new record. MX or something like that. You will need to associate IP to a name. This will be done exactly like we do with nameservers. You will HAVE to have a registed domain and that added to the root server. You can have more than one.
Now if all the MTA's check the ip through the root servers and reverse ip from your DNS servers. It all needs to match up to recieve email.
Now if someone sends out spam it is marked in a new blacklist & whitelist. This list would need to be run by a Network Solutions or ICANN etc. Anyone would be able to download a copy of the lists to make a mirror.
We need a set of rules, so that if congress/ftc says all spam needs to be marked as SPAM. If not and lets say x number of people complain then you are added to the blacklist. (Rules would be needed to get off).
Whitelist would be used like the current phone list. The difference is you need to opt-in to spam.

This is real rought. Your ideas would help us make a better plan and find all the many flaws in our idea.
v1.0
