======================== here it is:
This letter and proposal has been sent to Google, Microsoft, and
Yahoo.
I get too much SPAM!!!
It came upon me that there is a SIMPLE SOLUTION to the 180 or so
e-mails I receive every day and have to spend several hours
determining which are important and which ones are junk.
This is an invasion of privacy and I have the solution that provides
pretty good privacy: it is to include a KEY ACCESS ALPHA-NUMERIC
( includes HEXADECIMAL CODE ) NUMBER within the E-mail as shown
below:
My proposal, THE NEILL SOLUTION, would solve ALL SPAM problems.
As <"Bill Neill" [EMAIL PROTECTED]> another example
is <"Bill Neill" [EMAIL PROTECTED]> where the #123BFD456
or #Family124 is an alpha-numeric (or hexadecimal) number or word
THAT IS assigned BY ME and can be changed at will BY ME, and is known
as the ALPHA-NUMERIC NUMBER CODE (ANC) KEY.
A-N-C K-E-Y is the BEST SOLUTION by far.
If you send an e-mail to me with the wrong ANC KEY (#123BFD456) OR
(#Family124) your e-mail will not be received in my INBOX/Sub Box,
but will go to a PENDING BOX that would allow me to read it, if I
think it is possibly important and then respond with the current
E-mail ANC KEY for further communications. This effectively expands
my existing e-mail box into several sub boxes or none at all, if I
should so choose not to use it.
ANC KEY SOLUTION is preferred over much more complicated attempts to
solve the problem because it is simple, easy to program, it is in
control of the user, it costs nothing to implement, and is
EXCLUSIONARY not INCLUSIONARY.
Attempts to exclude e-mail from a source exposes the test to all the
computers in the world, but including the ANC KEY code expressly
grants delivery access for this message.
In high security applications for the government and such, the ANC
can be extended (made longer, so harder to pick, limited only by the
256 network limitation) and generated on the fly (using a random
number generator) or made to follow a particular and predictable
algorithm with more keys, and ultimately, we see that this approaches
security similar to encryption and digital signature software that
provides pretty good privacy.
Since I can change the ANC KEY whenever I want to, without changing
my actual e-mail account ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), unlike attempts to
invoke a blocked list or some other �list� of the �do not send to me�
type, both of which are circumvented by relocating off shore, out of
reach of the law or simply send a batch and vanish, by changing the
source of the sender, will NEVER WORK in todays world. This is a
world-wide problem that contaminates the web and slows transmission
to a crawl.
With ANC KEYs, I am able to keep the SPAMMERS out of my IN BOX as
below:
---INBOXES---
SENDER FILTER:
Bulk Box -----Mail here is filtered as to SENDERS being known as
a spammer to the server.
RECEIVER FILTERS:
Private Box --Mail here is filtered as to my selected private
ANC KEY, #34C56, or #private69
Business Box -Mail here is filtered as to my selected business
ANC KEY, #4444D, #office34
Family Box ---Mail here is filtered as to my selected family
HEX NUMBER KEY, #1A937, #family22
Public Box ---Mail here is filtered as to my selected public
ANC KEY, #9FF999. It comes from my answering a
public question requiring the entry
of an E-mail account for verification or access.
Pending Box --Mail here is not filtered using any ANC KEY
or using a KEY of #? or * where the question
mark signals to allow ANY OLD, OBSOLETE KEYS
AND SO ON, to gain access and is the same as a
person sending with NO NUMBER KEY( # ) AT ALL.
Bounce the Message:
NONE OF THE ABOVE -BOUNCE THE MESSAGE, have a nice day SPAMMERS.
Notice that no E-mail address is in fact changed from what it is
today, just add an account maintenance page to allow selection of the
ANC (alpha-numeric) KEYS, and allow me to change them when needed to
make the SPAM message bounce.
Example of procedure:
EXISTING AND NEW SIGN UP OF ALL E-MAIL CLIENTS AS:
�Bill Neill� <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
ASK IF YOU WANT TO USE ANC KEYS - IF NO END.
IF YES THEN:
ENTER THE NAME OF THE FOLDER YOU WANT TO ASSIGN:
Family
ENTER AFTER THE # THE ANC KEYS TO BE USED FOR THIS FOLDER:
#34familyf7, #BOB57
NEXT OR END.
ENTER THE NAME OF THE FOLDER YOU WANT TO ASSIGN:
Office
ENTER AFTER THE # THE ANC KEYS TO BE USED FOR THIS FOLDER:
#86, #office2
END.
---------------------------------------
RECEIVED AS EXAMPLES ARE PLACED IN BOX:
�Bill Neill� <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -to General Inbox
�Bill Neill� <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -to Family Inbox
�Bill Neill� <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -to Family Inbox
�Bill Neill� <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -to Office Inbox
�Bill Neill� <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -to Office Inbox
Example WHEN <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -to Office Inbox is
compromised and some SPAM is being received, simply change #86 to #90
or whatever and inform known senders of your NEW address. All email
sent to #86 will now be REFUSED, BOUNCE MESSAGE or be placed in HOLD
Inbox for you to decide if you want to read any of them or simply
delete all of them.
Consider set up a dynamic ANC KEY. It is the date plus random number.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
ENTER AFTER THE # THE ANC KEYS TO BE USED FOR THIS FOLDER:
#*DATE*1212 *DATE* inserts todays date
And so on. I hope you will consider implementing my proposal, THE
NEILL SOLUTION which would solve all SPAM problems. Keep in mind that
if the sender of SPAM gets no response, his advertiser will stop
paying to have them sent to us, ending this mess very quickly.
Kindly forward this to your staff for consideration and evaluation.
Sincerely, Bill Neill
