+1 - At the moment it's sheer conjecture to assume this will increase or decrease the amount of mail successfully delivered to a recipients mailbox, or the amount of Spam we receive, or the ability to know just when our mail has been successfully delivered or not. I administer a mail gateway processing upwards of 7,000 messages per day, and unabashedly can confirm we trash more than 4,000 of these per day unread and without providing notifications as to why. This is common practice throughout Government, corporate's and business, the academy and most other large organisations and institutions. Activists in particular are likely to have mail automatically deleted without reason. I am not suggesting I agree with this practice, yet ignoring it exists might be worse than agreement. Certified mail systems may well mean the end of current content filtering systems and a return to the common courtesy of at least notifying people when mail is automatically rejected thereby providing some degree of recourse. IMO the problem isn't so much one of process, it's more one of ignorance. Most people have no idea how much mail is currently auto-trashed by the worlds content filters because there are no reporting mechanisms - yet estimates are as high as 60-70% of all email is simply deleted by content filters unread and un-acknowledged. This is quite possibly a step towards positive change... _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@mailman.edc.org http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
