I will make a prediction. It won't be long and ALL e-mail will have
to have a valid return address. There will be no more legal anonymous

I don't think it'll be long either until you need a license to operate
an MTA (just like you need a radio license to operate an amateur radio
rig). With the amount of mail abuse that's happening, something's got to
give. If people were responsible for the abuse eminating from their MTA,
(i.e. could lose their license to operate the MTA - in the case of an
ISP, the whole ISP would find themselves with a suspended license and
unable to send email) they'd be a damned sight more careful about making
sure that the abuse could be minimized.
