I disagree. Different problems sometimes require mutually exclusive solutions.
In fact, receiving lots of unsolicited mail provides some plausible deniability. So a spam free-for-all might actually be a useful part of the new network.

And the problem gets worse then that: the more anonymous it is, the less it's possible to stop someone from spamming. Though I suppose you could attack this problem from the email address side: make it computationally expensive to general an email address, to make address-hopping as a spammer more difficult.
