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.
