I respectfully disagree with you.  

We *were* a special case.  Soon we will not be a special case because ADSP will 
enable all mailbox providers, if they choose, to do for others what they have 
historically done for us.  That's the big win that only ADSP could ever enable.

Apparently such an announcement is going to come as a surprise to many of you 
on this list, but it shouldn't.  It's the logical conclusion of the ADSP work.

The value of what we already have from your efforts in IETF is HUGE
for consumer protection.

I believe this is a big win for DKIM, which I hope we can tell the world
about.

It has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with ADSP, since the two mailbox
providers are (quite reasonably) treating paypal and ebay as a special
case.

It could be even more useful with the kind of tweaks I've suggested
for MLM's... and probably a few more flags/states for ADSP.

We've gone around enough times why this would be bad for Paypal and
bad for everyone else, so I'll stop now.

R's,
