Re: [Asrg] Spam detection system proposal

so the spammer pays that price once to clean up his list, and after
that, he only gets a few bounces back each time.

I believe that even that one-time price is sufficiently high to deter
a lot of spammers.

forgive me if I'm skeptical.

Furthermore, the system can be tuned.  

you're still trying to evaluate messages based on some criteria that
have nothing to do with whether the recipient wants it or not.

This does, as you say, hurt infrequent mailers.  That's an unavoidable
side-effect.

we can certainly avoid it by not using this scheme.

If the spammer doesn't want to receive the message body in the
DSN's, he or she will have to use a bulk precedence header. :-)

which is not an indication of spam, and shouldn't be treated as
such.

That's true, but forcing any kind of detectable behaviour onto
spammers is a good thing. 

not if it's a waste of effort.
