Journal criquet's Journal: 100% solution to spam
There is a technological solution to spam that is 100% effective. Dynamically
generated, encoded and encrypted email address that, when decryted and decoded,
contain who is allowed to send the email and/or for how the long address is valid.
For example, I can encode/encrypt "org.slashdot" to indicate that the address is
only valid from slashdot.org. The address can become
b3JnLnNsYXNoZG90-20030801-myuser@mydomain.com.
Mail clients can autogenerate these address for the replyto field and decode and
decrypt them to autofilter incoming email. Utilities can be written as plugins for
browsers to generate these addresses registering with websites too.
Of course, MTAs would have to be aware of the format of the address but that's
already being handled by the likes of spamgourmet.com though, personally, I don't think
spamgourmet.com goes far enough.
