I have had a few major non-adult companies send me mail asking me to reconfirm my memberships to lists or sites that include member's mailings. The funny part is that most of them DIDN'T confirm me the first time, just accepted whatever BS some jackass typed into their collection boxes.
Spam without faked headers, misleading subject lines, and such will be MUCH less profitable. Without faked headers, many spammers won't be able to operate, as they will be shut down VERY quickly as a result of being traceable. That is the theory, anyway. In reality, if the spammer is from anywhere outside the US, they don't have to comply. Remember, it's US law, not WORLD law.
Oh well.
As for adult filtering, this is the same concern I have with creating an .XXX domain registry. I would be so easy for an ISP to block out ALL adult material. Imagine AOL with an adult filter turned on by default, requiring that the member call an 800 number and talk to an operator to have it opened up. Porn online would be DOA within a week.
