Like a US law is gonna stop a spammer located in Hong Kong or Nigeria..
As far as I am concerned, if the From Address domain is not coming from the MX for that domain, I don't want the mail. However not everyone uses there MX for sending out the mail., this was the whole reason for SPF, but nobody has even set that up.
If the domain doesn't exist, or does exists, dns servers are taxed probably the same amount.. regardless of domain existance.

withThis sounds like an urban legend to me. Keep in mind that there was some news release a few weeks ago that indicated AOL was seeing dramatically less spam traffic. I think it is likely that AOL has succeeded in blocking more spam, and the article was rehashed by someone that didn't understand the topic and assumed that this meant a drop in spam. This used to happen all the time, even in industry mags, back when the Internet was becoming a big deal. Same thing with spam now. I'm sure that they mess up articles about medicine, astronomy, etc., and we just don't know enough to see through the mistakes.
