"The plan, while it's optional and would apply to only a fraction of people sending e-mail, amounts to a reversal in the economics of the internet because it would charge message senders rather than those receiving them." "and Yahoo said the program, which is being offered through a company called Goodmail Systems, will target banks, online retailers and other groups that send large amounts of e-mail. " "This doesn't mean that the ISPs will block all commercial e-mail that is not Goodmail certified. Marketers will still be able to send their e-mail to AOL and Yahoo customers, but their messages could be blocked by the ISPs' spam filters." So, as I dislike the whole idea, they say, that this would be an optional service for Bulk-emailers to pass the spamm filters. Goodmail has a list of facts about their program: http://www.goodmailsystems.com/certifiedmail/index.php >> welcome to the new scheme of pay to play. They have tagged you as a >> commercial emailer. You have to pay per email to skip their filters. Sorry, but this statement seems a little bit pathetic and missleading....
