SpamHaus Behind .mail Top-Level Domain

securitas writes "The SpamHaus Project is the group pushing ICANN to create a new trusted-sender system and the .mail top-level domain. SpamHaus proposes that registrants under the .mail TLD would pay at least $2000 per year to and 'agree to abide by certain anti-spam mailing practices.' The interesting twist is that companies that comply with the US CAN-SPAM act - which SpamHaus opposed due to the legalization of bulk unsolicited commercial e-mail - would not be eligibile to register a .mail address. The .mail TLD proposal was recently discussed on Slashdot."
