As long as we're talking about comparisons: Here's an interesting take
on spam-fighting:

downside of wikis... (note the hit-man references).

Apropos fussp.info:
A few schemes and scheme tweaks I've thought of.
Universal adoption says:
"A whitelist scheme can only be used to reject spam when *every*
legitimate mail sender is part of the scheme. "
Well, no. Having a whitelist scheme in place means you can turn up the
sensitivity on your spam-detection tools (i.e. lower SpamAssassin score
thresholds and reject more spam) and maintain the same FP rate, or keep
them at the current level and have a lower FP rate. Also, what does
"Universal" mean? Every sender? user? recipient? server? domain? needs
to adopt it?
New scheme:
"User support is expensive"
e.g. Large ISPs will not adopt schemes that require each end-user make
changes to their setups, such as installing new software or even just
reconfiguring current software. They are not willing to do something
that will precipitate a deluge of support calls.
BTW, the current TOU (Terms of Use) are unreasonable:
Too long.
Undated.
changes w/o notice???
Usage of my account by another due to a security flaw in your system is
not my responsibility.
12. Reservation of rights - NOT compatible with open content...
Privacy policy:
too long, etc.
