Re: Well, something will need to be done eventually.... said by TheWickerMan:said by Packeteers: actually, there is... charge money to send every email. And since a lot of spammers use hijacked machines to send their crap out, that will accomplish nothing. In order to make a system like that work, there would need to be an overhaul of what we have now. Think about it, if we were to overhaul the system and put in one that required 1/10th of a penny to send an email, wouldn't it work pretty well? Thats since we are living in "what if" land. Since no overhaul is coming, it sounds like we are going to be dealing with spam for a long time. |

How does that address the issue of spammers using hijacked machines? And that's not a "what if." That's something that's actually happening. |

With an overhaul of the system, it would mean that there would be no more hijacked machines. You would have some kind of secure login or other means of authentication. As I said here, just thinking outside the box. |
