Re: Identifications dealing with Bulk Unsolicited Messages (BUMs)

On second thought, I know that you know this field well enough that I 
*must* have misunderstood your message.

Could you please restate your missive in such a way that it's clear:

- What problem you think the IETF can help solve
- What action you think the IETF should take to solve it?

I'm afraid the whole spam thing has gotten so convoluted by now that I need 
instructions in large type to figure out which path out of the weeds you're 
pointing at....
