The Bill Neill Solution To SPAM

This letter and proposal has been sent to Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo.
I get too much SPAM!!!
It came upon me that there is a SIMPLE SOLUTION to the 180 or so e-mails I receive every day and have to spend several hours determining which are important and which ones are junk. This is a PERFECT SOLUTION with NO WORKAROUND BY SPAMMERS
This is an invasion of privacy and I have the solution that provides pretty good privacy: it is to include a KEY ACCESS ALPHA-NUMERIC (includes HEXADECIMAL CODE) NUMBER within the E-mail as shown below:
My proposal, THE NEILL SOLUTION, would solve ALL SPAM problems.
As "Bill Neill" billneill#123BFD456@google.com another example is "Bill Neill" billneill#Family124@google.com where the #123BFD456 or #Family124 is an alpha-numeric (or hexadecimal) number or word THAT IS assigned BY ME and can be changed at will BY ME, and is known as the ALPHA-NUMERIC NUMBER CODE (ANC) KEY.
ANC KEY is the BEST SOLUTION by far. If you send an e-mail to me with the wrong ANC KEY (#123BFD456) OR (#Family124) your e-mail will not be received in my INBOX/Sub Box, but will go to a PENDING BOX that would allow me to read it, if I think it is possibly important and then respond with the current E-mail ANC KEY for further communications. This effectively expands my existing e-mail box into several sub boxes or none at all, if I should so choose not to use it.
ANC KEY SOLUTION is preferred over much more complicated attempts to solve the problem because it is simple, easy to program, it is in control of the user, it costs nothing to implement, and is EXCLUSIONARY not INCLUSIONARY.
Attempts to exclude e-mail from a source exposes the test to all the computers in the world, but including the ANC KEY code expressly grants delivery access for this message.
In high security applications for the government and such, the ANC can be extended (made longer, so harder to pick, limited only by the 256 network limitation) and generated on the fly (using a random number generator) or made to follow a particular and predictable algorithm with more keys, and ultimately, we see that this approaches security similar to encryption and digital signature software that provides pretty good privacy.
Since I can change the ANC KEY whenever I want to, without changing my actual e-mail account (billneill@google.com), unlike attempts to invoke a blocked list or some other "list" of the "do not send to me" type, both of which are circumvented by relocating off shore, out of reach of the law or simply send a batch and vanish, by changing the source of the sender, will NEVER WORK in todays world. This is a world-wide problem that contaminates the web and slows transmission to a crawl.
With ANC KEYs, I am able to keep the SPAMMERS out of my IN BOX as below:
INBOXES SENDER FILTER:
Bulk Box Mail here is filtered as to SENDERS being known as a spammer to the server.
RECEIVER FILTERS:
Private Box: Mail here is filtered as to my selected private ANC KEY, #34C56, or #private69
Business Box: Mail here is filtered as to my selected business ANC KEY, #4444D, #office34
Family Box: Mail here is filtered as to my selected family HEX NUMBER KEY, #1A937, #family22
Public Box: Mail here is filtered as to my selected public ANC KEY, #9FF999. It comes from my answering a public question requiring the entry of an E-mail account for verification or access.
Pending Box: Mail here is not filtered using any ANC KEY or using a KEY of #? or * where the question mark signals to allow ANY OLD, OBSOLETE KEYS AND SO ON, to gain access and is the same as a person sending with NO NUMBER KEY( # ) AT ALL.
Bounce the Message: NONE OF THE ABOVE: BOUNCE THE MESSAGE, have a nice day SPAMMERS. Notice that no E-mail address is in fact changed from what it is today, just add an account maintenance page to allow selection of the ANC (alpha-numeric) KEYS, and allow me to change them when needed to make the SPAM m

You do of course realise that as each of these addresses is harvested by spammers from viruses on client, family and friends machines then you will spend more and more hours trying to regain contact with them to give them a new stupid extension to their email addresses.
And give me a break. Hours filtering your messages for spam? you can tell spam in seconds. I delete 400 spams a day within minutes.
Learn to use your delete key. If anyone tried to hoist such a retarded system upon me I think I'd be tempted to spam them myself

Agreeing with the poster that is about FUD, proving claims that this open source stuff is "messy" and the "IP is murky" and so many millions wasted on legal "issues" and even top lawyer(s) feeling there was "merit" to the issues.
Even with a clear lose, this suit stinks up the room for a long time and might even force some "splits" in the linux/BSD source tree (divide then conquer).
