Rio sysadmin Vince Valenti dropped this one on me today (though I know I've skimmed past it somewhere on Wired or Slashdot, something like "Microsoft and Yahoo join forces to kill spam" but I can't find it now). There is a new DNS based email source-verification system that should put an end to Spammers being able to forge the envelope-from address of their email, thus providing accounability to the email universe and inevitably putting an end to spam.
Mmmm, less spam! :)
