What's to prevent a spammer to register how many addresses they want?
A mechanism will prevent it. Each new address will have to be validated
by a human being - not a computer. Optionally, we will do it in a way
that will prevent people to open hundreds of new E-mail addresses per
day. For example - the process of opening a new E-mail address can take
time, such as half an hour.
If you want to count how many messages an address sends, you need a
central server.
That's right. We need either a central server or another mechanism to
count the messages sent by each address per day.
Who will run it (for free)?
Who will trust it?
Either we will run it, or we can lease it to another company. It's like
with registration of domain names and SSL signatures. There are
companies who control these registrations (such as Verisign), and
everybody trust them. When you use DNS or SSL, you rely on these
companies to work properly. If they didn't, DNS and/or SSL wouldn't work.
What will be the limit?
We should decide, but I think around 250 messages per day is a good guess.
I'm looking for people who will help me form a profitable business from
this idea. Profitability is one goal, solving spam is another goal. Of
course no solution to spam in 100% complete, but as Nadav said a
solution should be good enough. If a solution gets rid of 99.9% of
spam, while not interfering with 99.9% of legitimate messages - it's
good enough. My solution will also prevent phishing and E-mail worms.
It's good enough for some people, but not for others (me for example).
It's good enough for most of the people. And that's good enough for me :-)
You can never please everybody...
