That's not a spam protection model

It's a CanSpam model!

Although, how many true business mails does an AOL or Yahoo member receive per year. Precious few. Seems to me this is going to cost more to pay goodmail than they'll get in revenue!

Re: That's not a spam protection model

This will actually help the spammers. Since more legitimate commercial email will go to your junk folder, you will have to examine those emails more critically.

Re: That's not a spam protection model

Supposedly this paid SPAM will be allowed to bypass the filters. This of course will put pressure on someone, either Yahoo or the sender, to abide by the CAN-SPAM act. Perhaps the paid SPAM will have a true Opt Out link that works. If not then Yahoo or AOL will be putting the nails on their own coffins.

This is why I think that Gmail is one of the best e-mail services out there. Hopefully Google won't follow AOL and Yahoo's lead.

Same.

The day when email becomes fee-based (mandated) will be the day that another protocol for message exchange is necessitated.
