[ASRG] Re: 6. Proposals - Pull System (revisited)

2003-11-29 09:17:21
What exactly is the specific failing of SMTP which is addressed by pull
systems?


Pull might help stop spam. Right now, a sender system only has to
exist to inject a single message for it to get through. With a pull
mechanism, the sender must remain at a stable IP address for at least
a few hours to a few days. Sending systems can't be as ephemeral anymore.



Is this a weakness? And anyway, can't this "flaw" be resolved by any of the
RMX / permitted sender DNS type proposals? It seems a very weak argument to
me.



Have I missed something?


See the grandparent message by me.


No - I saw that.
