Transactional mail is the easiest to do and has the biggest payoff. So no, not doing it does not help in the slightest. I don't think we are going to be using this scheme to complete transactions. But it has to be possible to use it for applications such as: * Correspondence between lawyers and clients. * Sending statements for bank and brokerage accounts. * Sending invoices. We need those applications because they are applications that will enable a lot of trade and drive a lot of commercial transactions. And if you want to deploy an infrastructure that is going to cost $10 million+++ / yr to run you better have a story that you can deliver benefits in the $ billions. I don't think we need to solve the spam problem. But we can't open up a hole that the spammers can drive a truck through. _______________________________________________ Endymail mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/endymail
