Irony (Score 1)

Does MAPS not realize the irony of this whole situation? Their big argument is that spam costs money for the receivers, but not the spammers. Spam is bad because it costs us money to receive it. But now, it's cheaper for me to just eat my spam rather than pay MAPS. They basically have now capitalized on spam by offering a pay service to stop it. IMHO, the RBL is a tool to pressure companies into changing policies and fixing broken servers. It was never large enough to significantly reduce the amount of spam. They just priced themselves right out of business. MAPS will no longer be an effective tool to strong-arm companies into changing their behavior when they are down to 100 companies subscribing to the service.
