Michael,
Thank you for your feedback. I have updated my website in response to
what I
believe were the most significant criticisms of my method, and I believe
that
my method is now devoid of any major flaws.
Charmingly put, but you're sadly mistaken!
You have failed to address the major flaw in your process which occurs
because your system introduces a new message into the transport system for
every questionable message identified by your system.
It is not enough to simply mask spam from end-users where this is done at
the expense of a significant increase of load other parts of the system,
particularly those parts outwith your control, and most importantly those
parts for which there will be a tangible dollar cost.
The fact that low volume systems may have excess capacity does not mean
that increasing load is without cost though it may be accomodated without
expenditure. What it does mean is that part of the cost of the redundant
capacity is now associated directly with the generated messages. Likewise a
system which is efficiantly utilising close to its full capacity would
require investment in infrastructure to allow it to participate.
Your system does not make this participation optional. Any party
transporting mail destined for any party using your system would require to
double their capacity for that route.
Any effective system must be cost effective, not just technically complete.
The cost of transporting unwanted email is already a significant part of
the problem and your system will increase, rather than reduce, this cost.
