Let me exemplify: my email address is on my town's public directory, and
some used cars sellers want to advertise by email special deals in each
town. An interpretation of "privacy" may imply that when the sellers
copy my address into their list, at the same time notify me the details
of their data processing. I don't want an email for that notification,
just a machine readable note at my MX server. That note should arrive
_before_ any email message, so that I can automatically delete my
address from the sellers' list even before they send me any
advertisement, if that's how I've configured the server.
This is another interesting example of "consent". Now, suppose that the
"details" require some lines of free text description, so that you can
properly decide if you like "how and why" they are using your address.
There, you have a consent request.
But the problem is, spammers won't be that polite, not even in Europe
with our EU Directive :) So you will need to find a way to enforce
compliance with this requirement for your address, that is, a way for
the MTA to know who you authorized...
