Folks,
Found this on the NANOG mailing list. Is this relevant to
what we're doing? Do we need to review any of these documents, or
should we get in touch with any of these people?
I was at Summit II, as were at least a few other people on this list.
If you look at ASRG's work as a way of reducing the noise of spam,
than I'd say that Summit II was working on increasing the signal
strength of legitimate bulk mail.
There are some good guidelines that came out of it in terms of proper
handling of 5xx SMTP errors, proper errors to send when you are
rejecting someone because you believe they are spamming, and proper
use of unsubscription headers. There is nothing earth shattering,
but they are simple steps that should make it easier to distinguish
the good guys from the bad guys.

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.
