Re: Welcome to the new(ish) ASRG list

haha I clicked send before I finished deleting the "it works" part. It was 
supposed to be "it works by ..." but I decided to delete it as I haven't 
fully formulated the idea yet. and I haven't even decided if it could work :)

Essentially its a reputation system. To send an email you need to attach a 
stamp. if that stamp is successfully received it gives the sender a new 
stamp so he can send another email.

the idea is a bulk email sender will have a very high failure rate and 
therefore their supply of stamps will dwindle.

Its just the first thought in a system designed to get the process of 
stopping spam away from the MTA and into the client application. It has been 
solidly proven we can forget about ISP's implementing a consistent antispam 
system

I had high hopes for spf but it seems to have done very little too few 
sysadmins implement it.
