Unplugging spamming PCs

	Authentication and Authorization are two separate and distinct
issues. TLS and Authentication have been around for quite a while, but
without centralized authorization it will never be deployed by disparate
corporations for inter-domain mail! This will not stop spam. Unless of
course you want to manage user accounts or certificates with every
single customer that you want to have conversations with. Authorization
must still  be authorized by a third party agency which verifies
validity between everyone involved in communications.

Yet another "it won't do any good till everybody deploys it".
