I am not proposing blocking port 25. The proposal just says that
if you want to
send to a participating SMTP server, then you must be a
participating SMTP server,
otherwise each sender will be subject to challenge/response.
Adoption could be voluntary rather than made mandatory.
Then there are two possible outcomes:
1. ISPs and users flock to this new means of working
- you have created something that is valued. Adoption will proceed at
a good rate through peer recommendations and eventually peer pressure.
2. It is ignored
- you have failed to create something that is perceived as
beneficial; the market has rejected it
If you aren't willing to allow for exclusively voluntary adoption,
then I have to ask, what are you afraid of? If the proposal is so
fantastic, they'll flock to it, because absolutely everyone is fed up
with spam.
