Re: SPF will solve spam and punish spammers

I am only suggesting the operator of a mail server needs to be certified or
qualified by some standards.

qualifications won't happen (infrastructure, $$$, etc).

Everybody just forget any centralization of authority, additional infrastructure, new RFCs and protocols, etc. They are too long to put in place(years), subject to bureaucratization/politicization/commercialization, monopolistic single-points-of-failure and throughput chokepoints.

If ASTA members (the 800 pound gorillas) and the rest of us would simply and soon _INSIST_ on DNS/SMTP settings to serve as "credentials", we'd be 100 miles further down the road than now.
