Re: [Asrg] Please critique my anti-spam system



No one else has yet mentioned a problem with seeing images, maybe you can try again later.

Billions of spam are sent each day and the problem is getting worse.  I believe that this system will profoundly decrease email traffic by eliminating spam.  In time as spam is controlled the number of bounces will decrease.

The text in these bounces is generic.  An email service provider can alter the content of the message to a generic Chinese message if the user wishes.  The instructions for the CAPTCHA can be created in a hundred different languages - the user can decide which one to see.  
Automatic address book updates are a convenience, not a necessity.
