Beat Spam By Not Using Email
judgecorp writes "We had a press release - by post of course - about a scheme that eradicates spam and viruses. It's not email, oh no. It's digital mail or dmail, a private system that no one else can send messages to. Assuming it's genuine (and the PR person is called Mike Hardware) it uses XML and SQL to build a 1980s bulletin board, to sell to niche markets (such as very close-knit families). Our story is here, and if you don't hear from us again, it's because we are busy emailing ourselves with our two free dmail addresses. Peter Judge, Techworld"
Oh I agree with you. I suppose I have nothing against the concept (rehashed though it might be). I've been in my 'Disgusted with Lawyers' mood for the last couple of days and this article was the next target.

Interesting thought but doesn't really apply here since we (the taxpayers) didn't have a choice in the matter. I suppose the upcoming election is our chance to express our approval or disapproval, but it's all after the fact.
