Spammers and botnets *do not care* about anonymity. Why should they when they can easily steal someone's identity by subverting his or her computer? That is why pretending that strong authentication will affect spam is fantasyland. [Well, the botnet operators care about personal anonymity, I guess, so they cover their tracks. But they don't care about anonymity as far as interacting with SMTP servers goes.] Regards, David.
