For example if you generate a sender It doesn't quite work like that. If you generate a sender address for Alice, and she sells it to Bob, because of the one-way hash you have no way to tell that the address Bob is using came from Alice. Granted, the email from Bob will be blocked, but you may wish to block further communications from Alice as well, since she's ovbiously selling you down the river. The point here is that the sender's real address is not recoverable from the TMDA sender-address. From a cryptographic standpoint, that's what you want. From a "who violated the privacy policy" standpoint, not so much. -- Find my Techno-Geek Journal at http://www.codegnome.org/geeklog/ _________________________________________________ tmda-workers mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-workers
