greylisting is too slow for our business.
Sadly, in reality, I suspect that what we have here (spamassassin and
blacklists up the eyeballs)
is about as good as it gets:
evidence to the contrary gratefully received.
Evidence to the contrary:
Premise: A reliable, large-scale, deployable PKI with reliable identity
credentials that fortify rather than erode privacy will solve most of
the spam problem.
Relevant cliche': "It's been tried many times. A reliable, large-scale,
deployable PKI will never happen."
Exhibit A: Skype is a massive, working, worldwide, trouble-free PKI that
was just bought by a company (eBay) that desperately needs the kind of
transactional authenticity/integrity that a PKI like Skype can provide.
Exhibit B (to be introduced shortly; will demonstrate that reliable
identities, while labor intensive, are obtainable)
You're welcome.
