I would like to provide a generic proposal for consent-based system as per
charter:
1. Users and/or ISP define rules and filters to filter incoming email.
Rules/filters are decided by end users and ISPs, and are not mandated.
Every user/ISP can define its own policies ranging from banning all email
not digitally signed to blocking HTML.
I'd like to make sure that those rules can be specified differently for any
given sender... and, for that matter, any given destination E-mail address, so
you can give specific rights to some senders (who need those for the kind of
things I expect to receive from them) while denying those same rights to other
senders. Right can be extended on a strict "need to send/trust to send" basis.
For example, many of us have several E-mail addresses (or even catch-all
accounts) and I might wish a given sender to be able to send something to me
under one of my "hats" that I might not accept from them (or indeed ANYBODY
maybe) when I'm wearing a different hat.
2. For each email user, the MUA or the ISP maintains a whitelist of trusted
senders, blacklist of blocked senders and a graylist of unknown senders.
Whitelisted senders go the inbox, graylisted senders go to the bulk folder,
and blacklisted senders are either in the spam folder or erased.
Again, there needs to be different privilege levels specifiable for different
sender/destination address pairs.
