Re: [Asrg] Email Postage (was Re: FeedBack loops)

2008-11-14 23:29:54

Nobody with any experience or knowledge about email would seriously suggest blocking mail solely due to lack of an SPF record or a SenderID record or a DK or DKIM signature or an S/MIME signature or an X-Herring: Red header.

Why is that?

It's not my contention that it could be done in practice, just that the ongoing "discussion" about a "new email paradigm" based on pricing email, email postage, etc. as a IETF standard to thwart spam might have more than a technical consideration to its implementation (which doesn't mean a programming language, but how you'd get millions of server and billions of users to cooperate and adopt it worldwide).
