Re: [Asrg] TitanKey and "white lies"... (Faking SMTP hard errors "improves" C/R utility?)

I don't think this C/R stuff is too good an idea, it seems like the
mirror-image of opt-out's which require you to go to a web site and
fill out a form to opt out.

Just my opinion, and maybe it worked and Kay never wants to hear from
me anyhow.

But I'd be worried about people who are only casually responding to
you and see this and like me say oh yeah right like I have nothing
better to do today than visit a web site and do god knows what for
every email I get...

That said I have nothing particularly against giving people the choice
to use C/R, I'm just observing that it seems, to me, off-putting.

Look at TitanKey as another type of C/R system that issues challenges at the SMTP level. That's essentially what it is. As for pros and cons of C/R systems, that has been debated before many times. C/R systems exist and will increase, we are just making sense out of chaos here. Perhaps Eric Dean can add the STMP-reject method to his C/R draft.
