Eric,

EAH> but on the other hand the spammers aren't that smart in the short-term,


spammers have proved to be smart, adaptable and quick. the current
methods of spam-sending represent highly sophisticated, large-scale
distributed systems.

nothing has yet reduced the amount or impact of global spam.  in fact,
spam has only gotten monotonically worse.

so we probably should be reticent to build a global standard that
assumes the spammers will be slow-witted and slow-responding.
