I'd sooner keep identity out of email receipt as far as anti-spam is
concerned as it erodes these current freedoms to be anonymous and
pseudonymous to varying degrees.
Sending anonymous mail is not a right or freedom of the sender.
That view is as common as wrong. Anonymous mail is a violation
of the freedom of the recipient.
Freedom always has to end where other people's freedom starts.
Freedom doesn't include violation of someone else's freedom.
Having an option to not receive anonymous mail for anti-spam motivated
is from this perspective undersirable in that it makes anonymous users
second class citizens -- their email will be likely discarded.
Pure Nonsense.
Nobody can be required to pay time and money for providing
e-mail infrastructure designed to be vulnerable just to
make anonymous senders not feel as second class citizens.
Your demanding everybody to be open for denial of service attacks
and fraud.
In the same way you could demand to immediately stop this
working/research group, because spammers could feel as being
"second class citizens".
Why do I have to pay time and money to allow others to
stay anonymous?
