Seth Goodin says he has been lobbying since 1996 for a system where we pay for e-mail delivery. I say he is out of his mind. Their is technology available today to stop Spam in it’s tracks but the problem is you have groups of people that all have agendas and have employees to pay that don’t want to work together to stop Spam. I run a great anti-spam product on one of my servers that has eliminated Spam completely but the guy that has designed it has done nothing but run into hurdles and dealt with power plays on professional mailing list that discuss these issues. You are never going to stop Spam from being sent it will be in the pipeline even if they open a tollbooth to make you pay for passage.
This is a initiative to line some companies pockets will billions of dollars. The key is getting the technologist and those that have their agendas to work together and use technology on the sending and receiving side to shut Spam down. [Seth Goodin]
