Hi all,
would anyone on this list be interested in inventing a triple opt-in 
protocol?  If you would participate to such experiment, hit that reply 
button now!

This opt-in method is for newsletters and mailing lists alike.  The 
idea is that when, say, u...@example.org subscribes to 
tri...@lists.example.net, the latter notifies example.org servers of 
the subscription to the relevant message stream.  "Triple" refers to 
the three parties involved.  The new protocol would allow both 
web-based and email-based confirmation, but they can optionally be 
carried out directly by the subscriber's server, example.org.

*Advantage for users*
confirm subscription and destination folder with one click.

*Advantage for list managers*
obtain opt-in evidence, e.g. PGP-signed by the user's server.

*Advantage for mail servers*
reliably reckon positive domain reputation as opt-in abidance.

Yes, it is assumed that those message streams are DKIM signed.  As it 
seems that ESPs are among the early adopters of DKIM, these messages 
may eventually involve a decent percentage of the mail flow.
