right now the spammers are holding the users hostage: "if you want to be
able to read mail from people/hosts you've not been formally introduced
to, then you have to swallow our swill also."
that's somewhat the opposite of empowerment. if a "spam solution" can
take away that crisis and the expense is that my dsl-connected end host
has to tunnel its e-mail to someplace out in <www.vix.com/personalcolo>
then that's a tradeoff i can live with.
