I think that 7.a. BCP for End-users is 'user education'. It is at least the
creation of the material for educating users. I suppose the second part of
user education is distributing that information. Once we create it and make
it available, I do not know if we need a separate grassroots coalition to
promote it. There are a number of organizations that participate in
anti-spam efforts ranging from CAUCE to SpamCon to the FTC to the Center for
Democracy and Technology. Beyond the participants here and these
organizations, it is not clear what such a new organization would do. Can
you help clarify?
I was addressing specifically the distribution part. I was thinking of more
of a central distribution point for technical BCPs like best anti-spam
configurations for MTAs, best settings for MUAs, etc. I was thinking more
of a website where someone can go and select the MTA/MUA he is using, and
be presented with a list of recommended settings and sample configuration
files, and instructions how to implement them. I have not seen such
existing project as of yet.
