[Asrg] Reputation-based systems

These reputation-based systems have two significant problems: Its
participants can suddenly start sending vast amounts of spam, and it
hasn't to be their fault, really.  Maybe a hard-to-fix weakness in the
account generation procedure is exploited, or a software company has
distributed software with an easily exploited defect to a lot of
customers.  I'm not sure if you want to penalize such incidents, and
how you can still kick out the real non-compliers.

Surely, it is not beyond the wit of man to design a system that
monitors email sending and triggers a suspension when something
suspicious occurs. Then an ISP or other body could be in good
standing.

The problem of things like IronPort is the lack of uptake at the
moment. Hopefully, that will change with time.
