For some strange reason, I like MS's idea, if someone recieves an email and it's spam, then they can click the reject button and the sender gets charged. Hey presto!<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>[font=verdana][color=navy]I don’t like the idea any more than I like CAN SPAM. To be enforceable it would require legislation. The net effect of more legislation is that junk e-mailers will devise even more desperate methods or move to areas that don't have antispam laws. Principal junk e-mailers are already primarily offshore, using leagues of hijacked broadband computers all over the world to send their unwanted e-mail.
There are more effective ways to dealing with the problem. For instance, broadband ISPs can start by shutting off cable modems for spam drones that their customers refuse to secure and enforcing acceptable use policies. [/font][/color] |
