Sorry, I guess we've drifted quite a bit off-topic here.
Let's try to get a little closer to the subject line [before
the (was ...) part]. For example: your DNS comments
were a bit above my head - I know what you are talking
about but it would be a little hard to translate that into the
everyday e-mail usage.

How exactly did I choose to associate with spammers?
Am I supposed to check the policies of each and every
ISP provider I happen to use at the moment? And enforce
their no-spam policy?

[If you really think my current ISP provider is involved
in aiding and abetting spamming activities - send me
a signed affidavit stating so and I'll forward it to the
relevant authorities :-) ]

In case you have not noticed, my original point was exactly
that it would be nice to have the situation changed so that
everyone can post to an open address if they are willing to
bet a dime or so on it. For any real bona-fide postings that
should not be a problem. But that small charge should
strongly discourage any automatic mass-mailer things.
