Mail servers should be registered just like domains and shutdown by a
registrar if they are misusing their registered services. This really
needs to be handled by a multi-lateral legal solution, industry will not
fix it alone.

No, that would be punishing before the crime happened. Responsible would

be to punish swiftly after the fact, but not before.
