As a receiver, I benefit from a whitelisting service, otherwise I
wouldn't bother to use it. For me, the sender benefits less: I'd
accept good mail anyway, the whitelisting just makes it easier.
So should I have to pay to use a whitelisting service?
Suppose there were a perfect reputation service, that provided
information from "ESP outgoing for confirmed opt-in" through
"trojanned PC, emits only spam" and everything in between ("ISP
outgoing, cancels/blocks spamming customers immediately", etc.).
Clearly that's valuable to a recipient. It's also valuable to the
high-ranked emitters; so, who "should" pay?
