Folks
DC> I've just send an internet-draft titled:
DC> Technical Considerations for Spam Control Mechanisms

Thanks to those who sent me feedback so quickly. I have posted a new
version at the above URL. (There is also an html version with the
obvious name.) The version number is -00 for this draft because the
first version did not get issued as an internet-draft.
Changes include quite a bit of what I hope is cleanup to the language
and clarification to some of the content.
The discussion of whitelist/blacklist has been made to match common
usage.
There are many other small changes such as changing MTA.i to be ISP.i.
Comments are still eagerly sought.
As a reminder, here is the abstract:
SUMMARY
Internet mail has operated as an open and unfettered
channel between originator and recipient. This invites
some abuses, called spam, such as burdening recipients
with unwanted commercial email. Spam has become an
extremely serious problem, is getting much worse, and
is proving difficult (or impossible) to eliminate. The
most practical goal is to bring spam under reasonable
control; it will require an on-going, adaptive effort,
with stochastic rather than complete results. This note
discusses available points of control in the Internet
mail architecture, considerations in using any of those
points, and opportunities for creating Internet
standards to aid in spam control efforts. It offers
guidance about likely trade-offs (benefits and
limitations.)
