The SPAM problem is not an authentication problem. Even if you could
authenticate the identities - what would your "access list" look like
and how will it work?
Do you know that most of the SPAM alread goes from unsecured and owned
personal/home Windows XP machines? It is not a problem for spammers
(and or viruses) to steal a lot of identities from all around the
world.
