Michael, I picked your message simply as a representative of this viewpoint. But can you ro someone who shares this idea please explain to me how this model accounts for compromised hosts sending their spam through the default MTA or using the default MTA setting son the host? After all of this trouble to get such a system in place, it's going to take the spammers 1/100th of the effort the operation community has put in to thwart the system. But maybe I'm wrong. I'd love to be wrong on this one. Daryl G.
