Dear Johannes,

@4-Mar-2004, 16:01 +0100 (04-Mar 15:01 UK time) Johannes Posel [JP]
in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said to Marck:

JP> Honestly, we might still get spammed, because even with TDMA,
JP> they forward mails to the real addresses, only that the spam is
JP> addressed to the forwarding mail address <@gmane.org>.

This is a valid point. But it is aptly countered here:

,------/ From http://www.gmane.org/tmda.php \------
 Any mail sent to an address like [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 will undergo a challenge/response scheme courtesy of TMDA. After the
 sender has verified that she exists, the address will be decrypted,
 and the message will be forwarded to the real recipient.
`------\ End /------

So, spam is still not going to get through! I think they have it
covered pretty well.

They even (very magnanimously) make this offer:

,------/ Further down on the same page \------
 In fact, feel free to use your public.gmane.org address anywhere.
 While it's difficult for me to promise that your encrypted address
 will work forever, I have no plans for limiting the use of these
 addresses.
`------\ End /------

>> .. Posting can only be achieved by joining the mailing list and
>> sending there..

JP> So we'd go for a "read-only" group there, right?

Absolutely!
