due to ADSP.
Yeahbut... given the inertia how much could we possibly expect? There's
going to be breakage and hence resistance to this were it a good idea
(which I'm not sure of). Suppose only 10% by volume of lists did this,
would it still be a net benefit?
I don't think there are any solutions to ADSP and MLMs that are unadulterated
good. I think each option has risks and benefits. I think this is one
reasonable approach that may suit some lists and be implemented for some MLMs.
I think it doesn't risk mail loss and is consistent with existing standards.
It does require some change in practices, but I think that's rather the point
of the document.
