Identify verification is only part of the proposal I was responding
to. The other piece was verifying the good behavior of cert owner.
That requires a clearing house for complaints, an arbitration
process,
I don't really expect that to be much of a problem. People are quite eager
to give you free help to find violators and it's not expensive to put out
spamtrap addresses.
So what happens when Roving gets a new customer who has a bad list
and 100 people accuse them of spamming? The problem isn't getting
people to complain about spammers. It's keeping potentially innocent
victims from getting shot. That's where the lawsuits start flying.
Just look at the wide range of BL's that exist. Clearly people have
very different ideas of what constitutes a spammer.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
