'Leak-Proof' Anti-Spam Solution?

sikandril asks: "In an effort to help the Internet community and user-base at large in fighting spam, I have decided to put up this white paper for public review and remarks. As you will see, the system provides an almost 'waterproof' solution to spam blockage via an opt-in system. The main drawback is that everyone (except spammers or other evildoers) has to have this installed in order for it to work perfectly. A small number of installs means that unknown legit contacts still might show up as spam, albeit only for the first e-mail and/or until they too elect to install the software. I'm an independent developer located in Israel, and would love to hear your ideas regarding this."

Completely unbreakable!

According to the article, this system is completely unbreakable! Unless, of course, the spammers decide to do things that are against the law.

Heck, since we know that all spammers are good, law-abiding citizens, why don't we just pass laws against the spam, instead of trying to convince everybody in the world to use the same mail client?

Doh!

Would-be spam fighter posts email address on public internet, gets linked to by /.

Oops!

Yeah, sure

EVERYONE has to change to a NEW SOFTWARE/PROTOCOL and trust a CENTRAL SERVER controlled by a CENTRAL AUTHORITY and spammers have to STOP USING FAKE DATA and STOP USING BOTNETS (and probably all of us have to LICENSE THIS TECHNOLOGY).

I clearly see this could work - NOT.

Almost waterproof?

As you will see the system provides an almost 'waterproof' solution

Would you go out to sea in an almost waterproof boat?

Would you drink coffee from an almost waterproof cup?
