That said, I feel that the only technological solution to the spam problem is a large-scale re-structuring of Internet mail to provide for secure authentication and cost sharing for received e-mail. The scale and cost of such a deployment makes something like that a political and social problem, however.
What if the equivalent of "caller ID" was built into sendmail? Making sure that the sender is a valid email address. AGIS is looking for viable solutions to the overall problem. We have moved any customers that we receive UBE complaints into AS 3830 (which is getting emptier), making them even more visible. This assists in blocking SPAM domains at the router level. For those using the Vixie like approaches, this works. Notwithstanding, this thread focuses on the threat of such efforts. Phil Lawlor President AGIS Voice - 313-730-1130 Fax - 313-563-6119
