ken,

3) There was a thread a little while ago that talked about a way to cut
down spam by simply restricting who you would accept SMTP traffic from.
Unfortunately, I don't recall the details, but at the time it struck me as
eminently sensible, and just required cooperation between ISPs to
implement
effectively.

so what you are saying is that you would like to go back to the fidonet
days, when site A had to agree to route site B's mail? a deny all, accept
some rule for smtp would horribly break all that is good in humanity. am i
missing something here?
