RE: [Asrg] A method to eliminate spam

This assumes the existence of a PKI.   Without that, it's 
fairly trivial
for me to crank out a bogus digital signature claiming to be 
from meor(_at_)mail(_dot_)softhome(_dot_)net and forge subscriptions for you. 
 

It is already more or less required that organizations buy a CA-issued SSL
cert to operate a web site dealing in credit card transactions.  

Maybe it is not so farfetched that they should do this (or maybe use the
same cert) to also operate a mail server?
