Which sounds awfully like a whitelist system to me. Implementable
today, no protocol enhancements, minimal training, and decent systems
can be pre--programmed to minimize the hassles to people you WANT
sending to you....
the big issue on whitelists seems to be the social issue, the "jumping
through hoops" issue. But I haven't yet seen a suggestion I thought
didn't require at least that much hassle/work/retraining/etc and most
require a lot more. So why not whitelistings as part of a solution as a
lesser evil to all this other stuff?
