Well, if there were such autority and it would be effective enough to be
of any use and selective enough to distinguish between "someone who I
don't know sent me a spam" and "I subscribed to commercial mailing list
but forgot about this and now I think it's a spam" - it would be nice. But
I personally doubt this is possible even in theory, let alone in practice.

And I let alone the question of trust, which would inevitable arise - look
at the "spam blockers" battles where whole networks landed in the
blackhole lists just because somebody's egos and personal views on how to
deal with spam clashed.
