    Yes, this is true. However, any method that makes it more 
expensive for spammers to create "verified domains" also 
makes it more expensive for non-spammers to do so. Given that 
there are massively more non-spammers than spammers, I 
suggest that the increased cost for the many will be too 
great a cost for the benefits received.
    The method of verifying statements about a source server 
should be considered of most use in establishing white lists -
- not black lists. This method will be of limited use in 
building black lists since the number of sites which should 
be blacklisted changes more rapidly than anyone can keep up 
with it. This has been and will always be a problem with any 
blacklisting solution. Blacklists are only useful when you 
have domains that are persistent. This is not news...
