Problem with your 'Solution'Problem with your 'Solution'Posted May 6, 2004 19:08 UTC (Thu) by shapr (subscriber, #9077)In reply to: Problem with your 'Solution' by dlang Parent article: 82% of email is spam These are actually part of the advantages of this system. If a zombie sends notifications, it must be at the same hostname or IP for them to be picked up. that also means that blacklists become much more effective when a server is 'accountable' for its actions. As for mailing lists, I think the list host would pick up and then host the mail, allowing for pushed spam. But then this isn't a silver bullet, just an improvement. Right, once a mail is in the system it's trusted and pushed. The cost of storing and delivering mails is on the system, not the sender. If you move those costs to the sender, spam becomes less economically viable. The essence is that you and I pay for spam in a push system like we have now, and we only pay for notifications in im2000. One major advantage here is that those most likely to respond to spam, namely Internet newbies who check their mail once a week, are much less likely to get spam, since geeks like us will have gotten a spammed notify, and had time to do something about it (update blacklist, remove virus, etc). Anyway, that's just my take on how to make spam less profitable for the spammers.
