Why lean on legislative measures when this seems to be almost ideal 
for a technical solution? I'm making the unwarranted assumption that 
we can limit ourselves to 'always on' connections like DSL because in 
the long run that is likely to be the sort of service people will 
have. In that case you can set up your own domain name and mail 
server. Instead of depending on the kindness of strangers to filter, 
or not filter, you have all of those options yourself. End of dispute.
