Don't get confused into thinking that MARID will result in less SPAM.
CSV+NBB++ is intended to stop spam.
SPF is intended to stop spam. This is clear from the "It doesn't really
prevent spam" FAQ entry at spf.pobox.com. However, Meng has said he'd
be happy if all SPF does is stop joe-jobs. MARID is an ASRG
offshoot... Oh, and as long as we're telling people what to do:
http://spam.com/ci/ci_in.htm ! They're being nice; be nice in return.
And as I noted one way to work on this problem is to identify which ip
blocks are used by lusers who are very unlikely to be running mail server.
This problem has already been solved. There are several reputable
DNSRBLs that just list such IPs.
