Trustic Anti-Spam Service To Close

An anonymous reader writes "I recently received an email from the anti-spam service Trustic saying: "We have decided to close the Trustic service. We have determined that the system as it currently is designed will not achieve the level of accuracy that we require, and an inaccurate system is worse than no system."" We covered Trustic's anti-spam service, which billed itself as "a community-based block list that prevents untrusted servers from sending spam", as recently as a couple of weeks ago.

whitelist servers

[zoloto]

what we need is white list servers, where only those who are in your contacts list (Addressbook) can be let through to your inbox. A standard Comma Seperated Value (.cvs) document with just addresses at the least will do just fine leaving the server to do the filtering to /dev/null.

When a user sends out to a new address it's automatically added to the white.lst this can also work for domains...

Another idea... have special filtering options available so if you fill out a form on a webpage, you can add a special filter in the subject ie: subject:[special filter](in a subject.lst)so it'll get through.

even better, throw in gpg/pgp for the heck of it.

anyways, jsut my 0.02c
