So will the ISPs then include a function to allow the consumer to automatically reject/filter all of that blue ribbon crap or will this be the cyber equivalent of ramming ads down our throats with no option to avoid it?
I'd like to see a sample set of headers. Presumably, they will include some kind of unique "mark" to allow the Verizon spamfilters to give them a pass. If the headers include such a "mark", Pegasus Mail, Mercury/32, and any other mail agent which can filter on any header line will be able to deal with those messages easily.
If that's the case, then spammers can just add that "mark" to their own headers, hence bypassing the filters!

Not necessarily. It could be based on a white-list of "legit spammer" IP addresses. (e.g. 123.45.67.89 is ok to let through, but 23.45.6.78 isn't.) There really doesn't need to be anything else to it as far as outside spammers are concerned. Whether or not there is an internal "blue icon" flag is a different story. And any spammer that tries to set a "blue icon" flag from the outside could just be filtered out by Verizon as trying to muck with the system.
