Are People Using TMDA to Kill Spam?

NewtonsLaw writes "With spam becoming an increasingly frustrating part of life in the Net, I have to ask why more ISPs aren't implementing systems such as the excellent Open Source Tagged Mail Delivery Agent (TMDA) strategy? Using this system would mean that only those spammers who used bonafide email addresses in their headers would get through -- and means virtually all the penis enlargement, weight-loss and other scams would be blocked. Even the those habbitual "brand name" spammers (like Real, PayPal, etc) could still be blocked by adding them to the blacklist. With TMDA, email to and from regular correspondents is passed transparently and there's no risk of genuine messages being accidentally discarded by over-active filters. If enough ISPs at least offered TMDA as an option to their users, the effectiveness of spamming could be shattered almost overnight -- oh, wouldn't that be lovely?"
