How is the recipient of a message that has been blocked before he sees it to decide whether it was legitimate? Since most of what MAPS is about is reducing complaints from customers to their ISP, and thereby reducing support costs, I guess the question is answered. If no one complains, there is no problem. Since no one can complain about unseen messages, that means that collateral damage is not really a problem, since it does not increase support costs. > A sender's rights are > determined by their contract with their ISP, and an ISP's rights > are determined by their contracts with their peers and transit > providers. And with their customers, who are the ones that are sending and receiving all this email in the first place. - --- "The avalanche has already begun.
