I have my doubts. I suspect that the entire population of this list out

Somewhere has consulting clients who using Roving, and I want their
email. Messagefire has users who have asked to receive Roving
mailing lists. We also have users who have been spammed by Roving
lists.
The problem is how to run a mail company when your lists are coming
from people who used unverifiable means to gather their addresses.
Most people here would probably say that anytime a list moves to a
new host, it most confirm all members. The EPSC solution seems to be
to provide a separate grade (in the sending headers and/or SMTP
protocol) for both the hoster (e.g. Roving) and for the list
operator. You decide what score you will let through. (There is the
interesting question of how to keep a sender from hopping between
email providers.)
Anyway, that's my guess from what I've seen publicly so far.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
