Re: Authentication, Accreditation, and Reputation

Now for one final point: Sender pays. We want to transfer the cost of
sending email to the sender, and leave the receiver basically unfettered.
We want the sender to take the time to build up a good reputation (like the
way it works in the real world.) We want them to prove who they are, rather
than having us try and figure that out on our own.

Who is "We"?

When we do this, we
begin to increase the cost of spamming, and thus reduce the amount of spam.

This logic is faulty. I could just as easily forcast that increasing the cost of spamming will increase the amount of spam, because spammers will need more income.

BTW - Who's pockets are getting padded with this "cost"?
