I do not see any problem with allowing anonymous mail to be injected into a new system. However, it must be tagged and easily identifiable as such, so that sites may state a policy such as "We don't accept anonymous messages here." Removing the ability to spoof source addresses so that the entity sending the "anonymous" mail looks like someone else, I don't see that we have a problem. Many sites may be fine with accepting anonymous messages. Sites that accept postings for newsgroups may. Many will not. The choices available with which to deal with anonymous messaging is what we need to facilitate, not whether or not it is allowed to happen. --- Dustin D.
