[Asrg] Random thought

2003-03-12 09:51:27
What if we assigned a bucket in the email address?

joe[spam](_at_)paytimepayroll(_dot_)com

Consent expression is then indicated by the bucket [spam]
So if I wanted to give a contest (to win a BMW) my email (because they
require it) my email, I'd on the fly assign BMW's email to their own bucket,
I can specify joe[bmw] when registering to win a BMW on a website.

Then, my mail client can give it it's own folder, or swash it into a default
inbox according to my rules. It can create folders as it sees email (or if
spammers abuse it, we can manually set up a folder, and trash anything not
going to that folder)

The big problem is that [bucket] can be stripped off. So solve this problem
joe@ is to be considered invalid. Some bucket must be specified.
joe[default] would be one such example(though poorly choosen) Or joe could
set his [BMW] bucket to be his default inbox in his mail client.

This will also allow us to track who sells our info. If I start getting mail
sent to the BMW bucket and not from the sponsors, I know they sold my info.
After the contest, I can trash anything automatically sent to that bucket.

This makes evading spam rather easily, while still retaining your email
server and provider.
