RE: [Asrg] user-level blacklisting patented

Nathaniel Bornstein implemented a system of that type sometime in or before
1995 and I had a conversation to that effect with Tim Berners-Lee at MIT in
the spring of 1996.

The email callback loop itself was demonstrated in the COMLINK system in the
fall of 1994 at WWW'94#2 by John Mallery and Roger Hurwitz (see conference
proceedings) and deployed in Vice President Al Gore's Open Meeting on
Reinventing Government in 1995.

No mail clients rejected/filtered mail based on address

prior to Jan 2000? Or is that not covered by this patent? I've only 
given it a brief perusal in the past 10 minutes plus IANAL.

This is on the MTA, not the MUA.
