Alternate email standard will not have as long an adaption rate as ipv6, simply because there's a very nice incentive for adoption: avoiding spam.

Aboiding spam is not enough... Posted Jul 2, 2006 18:28 UTC (Sun) by dps (subscriber, #5725) [Link] I acually *want* some people to send me email, including but not limited to the debian security advisories mailing list. If I did not use SMTP this would not be possible and that is worth more to me than avoiding spam.
So far the best solutionm I have found is a combination of spamassassin and reporting spammers to their ISPs---the latter at has limited my spam to a few per day from what is apparently many faces of a worldwide stock spamming network.
A proposal which prevented spammers from emailing me but not other people would have a lot of traction. It is moderately hard to imagine now such a proposal would work in these days of unreachable hosts behind NAT gateways.
A roundup of other email proposals Posted Jul 4, 2006 10:39 UTC (Tue) by Klavs (subscriber, #10563) [Link] I agree, as long as I could run smtp and dmtp server, besides each other, and thus receive mail via both protocols for a while (until I see that everything that comes in via smtp is SPAM).
