Authentication and Authorization are two separate and distinct issues. TLS and Authentication have been around for quite a while, but without centralized authorization it will never be deployed by disparate corporations for inter-domain mail! This will not stop spam. Unless of course you want to manage user accounts or certificates with every single customer that you want to have conversations with. Authorization must still be authorized by a third party agency which verifies validity between everyone involved in communications.
