The gist of my proposal is that each recipient should be able to establish
a
fine-grained mesh which restricts (on a sender-by-sender basis) the types
of
mail the recipient is expecting (and willing) to receive from each sender.
THE DEFAULT, for unknown/unspecified senders, would be to allow through
the mesh
filter only mails smaller than a specified size (say 25K or 50K bytes
maybe)
which contain no HTML and no attachments... thus simple, text E-mails not
exceeding the specified maximum size.
The average spam mail size is usually smaller than your proposed size.
which increases the false negative rate of ur proposal
What about the sales and customer care dept. of organizations who receive
mails in bulk from customers, clients etc.
How user friendly will it be when the admin or user has to configure
settings for each sender.
It sounds more like whitelisting with restrictions.
restricting mails based on size or format will only produce more False
Positives.
