Now that you mention it, this would make a rather interesting positive
feed back loop. Eventually (theoretically it would/could include ever
available Email address on the web. I don't think that's a good thing. lol
Obviously there would have to be some form of quality control set in
place to deal with this. There is the problem of forged Email headers et
al, the general churn in email accounts and reassignment of IP addresses.
This leads to another MAPS/ORBS type organization. I think it would be
better if this were limited just to the virus side of the house. No one
that I know of, is actively putting the From/Subject/Attachment Name of
email viruses out in a single readily accessible listing. All virus
information is public but no where is a single listing of the Email
identifiers that could aid in filtering the viruses. The antiviral
companies are set to be more reactive than proactive in this matter (it's in
their best business interest).
Hey, that's just one guys opinion though, what say the rest of you.
