This is a thoroughly-discredited, utterly broken idea which, unfortunately, seems to keep coming back like a bad penny. It is based on the ludicrous notion that abusers -- who have consistently demonstrated themselves to be willing to spam, hijack computer systems, purloin ASNs, craft spyware, release viruses, send junk faxes, etc. -- will, for absolutely no reason whatsoever, suddenly and magically behave honestly and pay to send mail. Please. Put a stake through the heart of this idiocy and let's not ever mention it again. ---Rsk ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
