 | Spam trend has been to hijack As others have said, spammers have been turning to hacking into systems and using those systems to do their dirty work for them. So all that will happen if this is implemented (and that's is a BIG if) is that spammers will go from hacked box to hacked box sending e-mails without paying a dime. Meanwhile, innocent users will find multi-thousand dollar bills in their mailboxes a month after the fact.
So the spammers would get by this while the legitimate businesses and non-spam mailing lists would suffer higher costs. Good intentions, but bad implementation. -- -Jason Levine http://www.jasons-toolbox.com/ http://www.PCQandA.com/ http://www.urateit.com/ |
