Re: Proposal to define a simple architecture to differentiate legitimate bulk email from Spam (UBE)

This is getting way off topic.

One of the other things you see to be handwaving a bit about is
the notion of handing out user IDs, passwords, and other
credentials to mail accounts to people so they can "help" with
spam (or other problems).


My proposal has nothing to do with IDs so let's just drop that line of 
discussion or respond with a different subject to move it to a different thread.


 Sure, I can find a web-based
something-or-other to access my POP3 mailbox (if I had one).


Agreed.

the web site listed in your
signature line seems to mostly run people around in circles


My web site and businesses have nothing to do with this proposal.

The proposal is to define that *legitimate* bulk email must be sent and 
received by "pull" instead of by "push".  So that all remaining bulk email is 
spam.  This changes spam from "Spam == UBE" (an ambiguous definition for 
enforcers) to "Spam == *BE" (UNambiguous definition for enforcers).

How *BE gets dealt with by enforcers is not related to my businesses or web 
site.  Enforcers is a widespread term meaning any one who will enforce the 
proposed RFC against spam.

FYI: (completely off topic so please don't respond to list on this point) The 
reason the web site runs in circles is it isn't finished yet, nor ready to be 
released to public at large yet.  It should be completed in a few more days.
