As a squid developer the only thing I'm lacking
is time. You'll find that the strides being made
in apache are partially funded by people being
paid to work on this. I can tell you that this
isn't happening with squid.:-)
.. people were forced to take responsibility
for sending email.
If a valid email address was *required* by
the sender, then these problems would go away.
And it wouldn't be that hard to do - enforce
the Sender domain to resolve to one of the valid
MXen in the DNS, and get roaming users to use
the half-dozen ways to perform authenticated-SMTP.
Once a valid from: domain is enforced, it will
become much much easier to track down the spammers,
since they'll have no choice but to spam from their
own domain rather than through relays - since
noone will accept the email from the relays.
Of course, laziness and a "it kinda works"
attitude will prevent it. *sigh*..

Why? It means there is a nice centralised place for Solaris 8 source discussion to occur. Why is that a bad thing?
