The technical side doesn't seem too hard, but the political side would probably be "interesting". What fraction of lists/traffic is currently not explicit opt-in? The case I see is getting added to a deal/spam-of-the-week list when I buy something online. I've seen various comments about junk mail after registering at a site. I'm not familiar with that area. If a site wants me to register, I generally go someplace else. (Yes, there are a few exceptions.) How many of the bulk mail senders would cooperate? Would they be willing to switch all their customers to real opt-in? -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org http://chilli.nosignal.org/mailman/listinfo/mailop
