Saint Louis, MO | News just in... ... 3 out of 4 Americans have absolutely no clue how to effectively deal with spam!
A "Do Not Spam" registry would simply be the biggest, most convenient, gold mine for spammers who already operate their servers outside of U.S. boarders.
The only way to effectively deal with spammers is to cut them off at the money. Even though spamvertised sites are almost always in the Far East (Probably some Korean with his cheap 40 Mbit connection), there has to be a credit transfer from American financial institutions at some point. That point is where spammers are vulnerable.
Of course, it never hurts to close open relays or to report AUP violators (do ISP's really enforce those things as heavily as they should for their frame relay/T1+ customers?).
And for your personal enjoyment, instructions for creating a 100% spam-free account:
1. Create new email address composed of no less than 10 alphanumeric characters, and don't forget the numeric characters either.
2. Do NOT post your address to ANY publicly indexed website, including your own. If you must post your address, obfuscate it.
3. Do not give out your new address via any HTML FORM.
Brightmail, take a hint: Base64 encoding = spam. A large number of HTML comments of random characters = spam.
