Like it or not (and I don't) that is where we are
headed if other solutions to spam are not implimented
that cover non-NANOG type persons. I strongly suspect
we'll see a generation of mail systems which greylist
by default at the very least. Perhaps a future
secreterial job will be to wade through the muck and
query the boss as to whether one or two should be
allowed access.
For some people, even the volume of non-spam mail
could be rather intolerable. Imagine if you were
Tom Hanks and your private email got out and you
had to go through thousands of adoring fan mails
to find that movie contract from your agent...
Pre-authorization for email is the way things are
going to go.
