Vernon Schryver’s FUSSP is still relevant since what, 2000 or so?

this appears to be a technically inferior adaptation of a 20 year old
proposal from Steve Bellovin

        https://academiccommons.columbia.edu/doi/10.7916/D8FF406R

it got zero traction then because it treats the issue as technical
rather a complex security economics issue. Nothing, in my view, has
changed in twenty years.

only some of them -- many exploit unpatched insecure protocol
implementations

you should keep up with my academic work on detecting honeypots (we
found around 3000)...  yes they are valuable, no they are not a panacea
(and they are mainly poorly deployed... and we also found that many were
not patched up-to-date [shoemaker's children?])

I'm disappointed that you aren't solving the spam problem as well
