Re: Why not to use SPEWS
It would have to halt all traffic on 25 while it scans the outgoing message, right?
Maybe not. Having dedicated inbound and outbound ports may be a way to get around having that downside.
The interesting idea from my POV is taking advantage of the information from filter promotion. If a filter entry is common to a large area of the net, it should be possible to see to it that messages matching that filter never get to that portion of the net, while allowing such messages to continue on their way to those sections of the net that have decided that such messages are acceptable to them.
This requires an automatic, dynamically updatable, routing table scheme working in conjunction with filter promotion, but that's a relatively small technical problem.
IMHO, the beauty of this scheme is that both the sender's right to free speach and the recipient's right to choose what they want to hear is upheld, and in a way that does not break existing features of the mail system (ie SPF and forwarding) nor does it create fundamental architecture/feature problems (as Domain Keys or msg tracing or charging schemes do).
Combined with the message digest scheme alluded to earlier, both quality control and a fair method of upholding community more's are implemented. Thoughts? | |

| Just got off the phone with Bill Yerazunis, the author of CRM114. Turns out that he and another guy from South Carolina started thinking about a similar scheme they call inoculation since the 2004 Anti SPAM conference at MIT.
The first time I told anyone about my spin on this was this past summer to some MFN folks (Travis Haymore, his boss and another manager), and I had a followup meeting in VA with them this past Oct. At that time we were discussing bringing it to the attention of Gloria Youngblood over at YAHOO, but other events at that time slowed things down.
I think the time has come to develop some serious momentum with regards to these ideas. Please give me feedback folks.
pointers to intelligent anti-spam resources like spamfilt are also appreciated. I want this looked over as carefully as the TCP/IP RFC's were if possible. | |
