Stopping spam close to the source

Never-the-less we need to stop spam as close to the source as possible, not at the receiving end and that is where ISP's, government, and software developers like Microsoft come in. We need for authentication filters set up with all legitimate ISP's that check for legal return addresses and other can-spam compliant or non compliant features. Commercial messages not in full compliance will simply be stopped and never delivered. Those that are allowed through will be perfectly traceable right back to the very computer and ISP where they originated. Full or complete identification of the spam sender and product manufacturer must accompany every piece of mail. Zombie machines will be shut down from the net. Mail not traceable will never be delivered. ISP's not in compliance will be blocked. Additionally until then laws must be tightened to make spammers liable to pay us the receivers of their messages huge monetary damages for every non-compliant commercial message they send to us. A permission based system must be implemented in addition to the opt-out system. They will need to become fully compliant or else be deeply in debt to us and our government.
