In my business I have run across a number of women who are managing a web page and content. Many started on a whim and are now learning more out of necessity. Many earn money from home gathering information on a particular subject or selling a particular product.
I think as these women talk to their friends about the profitabilty and practicality of the web, this sort of activity will increase exponentially.
SPAM is getting a lot of attention these days. Its good to see not only AOL and MSN but many of the little guys getting in the fight.
Perhaps we will see some standards that work soon (hah). More likely SPAM will just reflect the reality of the junk mail we get via snail mail everyday.
A white list works but is very restrictive and what about spoofing? The cat and mouse race continues (now introduce the dog). With complexity comes a simple reality. SPAM is here to stay and so are SPAM cops.
The company I work for gives customers the ability to block out SPAM or not and it has several levels in between.
But as far as your particular problem, I think you will find it more and more difficult to run a mail server unchecked because of the recipricol damage that could be done to the host providing you the option.
You will eventually have to pay for your own bandwidth to get the most freedom.
