Bad move all around
I disagree. Legitimate mailing lists could find other ways to not get
filtered out. For example, users could just set their filters to not
require hashes from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using Hashcash doesn't mean
that you'd stop using other anti-spam tools like whitelists, blacklists,
SpamAssassin, etc.
Hashcash would be a great move. It'd be a powerful new tool for stopping
spam. And when properly combined with the other tools we have today, it
would have minimal drawbacks.
Cheers,
Daniel.
