gosh, Keith. Don't you consider 95% spam in email over the Internet

Of course I do, but ONLY if the degradation due to spam filtering is
part of the picture.
Please provide documentation that the people running serious email
platforms do not already include that factor in their decision-making.
Simple suggestion: Since you take considerable exception to common
email anti-abuse practices, how about providing a detailed plan for an
alternative approach and demonstrate its efficacy?
Simple suggestion: Why don't you stop pretending that this isn't a
problem? Or maybe, stop trying to change the subject any time this
gets uncomfortable?
Please provide documentation that I have said it isn't a problem.
As for changing the subject, I am indeed trying to alter it. I would to
move its treatment in this forum from standalone, idealistic and
apparently-uninformed statements of impractical absolutes to, instead,
acknowledging the balancing act this is inherent in any real-world,
imperfect analysis process of human behavior, such as email.
My usual reference to such tradeoffs is Type I vs. Type II.
