.mail Domain To Eliminate Spam?
steve.m writes "The BBC are reporting on a new batch of top level domain names being submitted to ICANN for approval. By far the most interesting proposal is for a .mail TLD to register legitimate mail servers. Could this eventually be the end of spam ?" *yawn* The same old discussion, with no implementation in sight.
You're stupid too. Headers can be forged.
Be happy. Nothing else matters.
Wow, why don't I reinvent the wheel every time I have a thought? Have you read any one else's post? Do they analyze and justify each sentence that they make, or do they rely on the reader's ability to take their points in the context of the general discussion?
If I were to discuss quantum mechanics, would I be required to give a full intro-through-expert writeup before I was able to express my own opinions or thoughts?
No? Then go back to your cave, troll.
If a celebrity has a public phone number the celebrity will get swamped with calls. People don't seem to think this requires a ground-up overhaul of the phone system.
Spam only really bothers people with public addresses. It is not a huge issue for those who take basic precautions.
Uhm, what part of DNS aren't you understanding?
If mail comes from XXY.NET, IP 1.1.1.1, you do a reverse lookup on 1.1.1.1, and find XXY.NET; irregardless of the connection.
If your servers aren't configured correctly, you might just get back the DNS name from your *GASP* DSL ISP.
E.g. quit bitching about the method when it's your own damn fault it don't work.
