This is response is a total straw man argument.
I was talking about robo calls, your response is about difficulties with email spam.
The phone network is controlled centrally. Government can force handling spam by phone companies, the same way they can force them to give police call logs etc for the purpose of collecting
evidence.
Further more, Robocalls usually are of a more local nature (not international). Government may instruct Police to investigate origins of Robocalls and enforce sanctions.
A formal complaint process could be made , where any end user may file a complaint, Providing proof is trivial. Both for the act, and origin (Robocalls are advertising a specific product from a specific company.)
A law could be made which mandates a speedy process for filing relevant lawsuites with small claims court, if found guilty the offending party will be levied a large fine.
This is from the top of my head. It probably contains many flaws. But it certainly doesn't seem impossible to combat Robocalls.
