One issue that seems to me to be missing from the consent discussions (pardon me if I just missed it amid the noise) is the problem of sender authentication. On the Internet no one knows you are a dog - and therefore no one knows you are not Disney either. My concern is that it will be all to easy to obtain consent tokens by pretending to be someone you aren't. I have already seen spam that purports to be a subscription confirmation message (confirmed opt in) where the sender is spoofed.

(Contrary to popular belief, I have no problem with requiring consent to send mail.)

consent paradigm

Before every jumps on me for reopening this can of worms again, I would
like to state that this definition only applies to spam WITHIN the consent
paradigm:

spam = "any email that does not have consent from the receiver"
