The base problem with the "proper connectivity" is that nobody has a good way
to allow legitimate e-mail directly from Joe Sixpack's PC while at the same
time not accepting spam from the zombie bot software on Joe Sixpack's PC.

And you're not going to fix *that* issue until Joe starts running software
that isn't quite so prone to zombification.
