Mike,


MR>         3. RMX record not present
MR>                 --> email is either a forgery or not a forgery; no
MR>                     information.  This is the way all email works now.

MR> You may object that case (#3) does not really provide any information.
MR> Right now, and that's true, but as RMX becomes more common, absence of an
MR> RMX record will become a gradually stronger indicator of spam.


When discussion adoption of Internet services, statements of the general
form "it will not be much use until there is widespread adoption, and
then it will be quite useful" are problematic.

Internet adoption of changes to existing services takes 5-10 years, at
least.
