AMTP as an Alternative to SMTP

SamMichaels writes "AMTP was published as an Internet Draft last week. It suggests using a 'Mail Policy Code' during the transaction to identify what kind of mail is being sent (administrative, personal, commercial, etc). Another plus is the use of TLS using x.509 certificates signed by a CA so you know exactly where the mail came from. Sounds like a solid plan...now to get a certificate signed for a decent price is the challenge."

True but who's going to actively sue the spammers for their illegal activity?

One doesn't sue for illegal activity, one calls the police. If the police do nothing complain to your nearest politician.
