Representatives of America Online, Microsoft Corp., and Yahoo
Inc. stressed that their initiative against unsolicited e-mail is a
first step in what they hope will be a broader industry effort. The
proposal lacked specific legislative or technical remedies.
Great, like the recent ESPC proposal, this one also "lacked specific
legislative or technical remedies."
In another Quote from the article:
: The companies want the industry to examine technical means for
: digitally marking e-mail so that it would be identified more easily
: by users and spam filters. The approved e-mail would have to conform
: to certain criteria, for example, such as unsubscription links that
: work, accurate information from the sender, and subject lines that
: accurately reflect the content of the message.
What happened to the simple confirmed opt-in requirement?
