If you check on the GNP and Internet statistics for California, you might come up with a different opinion/order. i.e. Southern California, fith largest GNP in the world. 11% of registered domains (although that has changed with dot.bomb, maybe up, maybe down), etc. Take a look at any Internet map before making comparisons to .kr, .mx, .br or others. Hint, count major IXs. Some of the proposals in this thread also have scaling issues. Think transiting millions of E-mails a day at a reasonable cost to the consumer. Fast, cheap, good. Choose two.

I do IT secuirity incident response for about 60k people, 45k hosts, their AV gateways, IDS's and firewalls and I can assure you, spam is a security problem. Security as a discipline is uniquely positioned to articulate solutions to spam. Read the tmda.net site. Read the FAQ and the README files. Mail isn't lost, it is queued.
