Re: [Asrg] Spam, defined, and permissions

["Jed Margolin" <jmsml2 at jmargolin.com>]

Somebody wrote, among other things, about how much storage space spam was
costing them.

Email should be changed so that the contents of a email lives on the
sender's server until it is retrieved by the recipient.

It shifts the storage costs to the sender, especially the big sender, and
forces some kind of accountability onto the sender and/or the sender's ISP.
An email with foged headers to non-existent servers will not be read.

It does break the much-revered model that makes the Internet resistant to a
Nuclear Attack but spam (and its sisters - worms and viruses) pose a greater
danger than the threat of Nuclear War.
