Hi,

In draft-hutzler-spamops-07, the introduction mentions that the near ubiquity, rapid delivery and low cost of email makes it a fertile ground for the distribution of unwanted or malicious content. That misses the main characteristic.

The very characteristic that make email such a convenient communications medium is that it does not require any prior arrangement between the sender and the receiver for delivery. The lack of authentication combined with the near ubiquity, rapid delivery and low cost of email makes it a fertile ground for the distribution of unwanted or malicious content.

Regards,
