Why not make it so that every email header has a auth key. When a user gives out his email address he generates a unique key for that person that can be placed in the address book along w/the email account.
Now when a person recieves email, he can "trust" the keyed messages and knows where they came from. It would also make it easier to find who is being a bit "loose" w/a persons email address.
So if you start getting spam, and its key was assigned to Amazon, well now you know what they do w/your account data.
Effectively, it makes a unique email address for everyone you want to email you.

I'd be afraid that EA would squash Sega's sports games. Now that would be a shame. No more NBA 2K# or NFL 2K#.
