RE: [Asrg] requirements for a proposed solution + notion of conse nt

2003-03-07 11:25:26
I would like to add:

- should do no harm (mundged email due to error)
- should have minimal cost of implementation (monetarily and/or
administratively)
- should require no more horsepower (Don't want to have to buy more servers)
- should not significantly increase time to delivery


I will think of more I am sure.

Regards,
Damon

Subject: [Asrg] requirements for a proposed solution + notion of consent



keith moore suggests the following criteria for potential solutions in
 
https://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/working-groups/asrg/current/msg00726.html

- should minimize spam to some acceptable level (say, 0.1% of received
messages)
- should not prevent delivery of legitimate mail
- should not adversely impact valuable functionality
- should be easy to use (even for grandma)
- should be easy to deploy, incrementally
- should not depend on universal deployment to be effective
- should provide incentives to deploy for those doing the deployment

all of the above are laudable goals. i would like to add a few more

- senders and receivers of wanted (i prefer the term wanted over
"legitimate")
  mail should not have to pay additional monetary costs 
   ("sender pays" scheme causes additional pain for people who send/receive
    wanted mail - it would penalize "good folks" because "bad folks" send
spam)

- no new protocol should be required to implement such solutions (maybe this
is
   covered in 'easy to deploy')

- there should be no additional impact on privacy of participants as a
result 
  of such solutions

also, the notion of consent in the original writeup seems to take for
granted
that participants have to consent a priori. it would be interesting to
consider
a scheme where the sender takes a very modest risk ('liability') which is
lifted
when the receiver deems the mail as wanted. the consent is given by the
receiver
after the mail is received. the receiver gets to decide if mail is "spam".

cheers,
bala
