Until emails are paid for we will have spam. Once there is a fee for sending them then spam will drop or even disappear. Let's say you get 1000 free emails per connection every month and 1000 per gig of server space you own. Then people will have to pay for the extra emails for instance $1 per 100. It will mean everyone can use emails for personal and business but spammers will get hit.

There will still be free emails services, but you can opt to receive them or block them.

OK the numbers and principle might need adjusting but this is the only way to stop spam.
