[members-discuss] [SPAM] Technical Solution to resolve the global "Email Spam" problem

Hi Elad,


There are many smart people on this world. I've been in IT for too long.
If someone tells me they have a "technical solution" to spam I don't buy
it because it's either so convoluted we can rather just turn email
litterally off (as in, stop accepting email, close port 25 and go back
to a "closed" world - like back in the days of compuserve? Where you get
to-down-control.



Reminds me of "New IP" with the top-down control.

I read it to the point of reading about a centralized website, and
stopped there 


We do not want top down control in this place, so obviously any top down
control is doomed to fail from my point of view.


The solution to spam is education.
if people finally would stop falling for 419 Scams, they would cease to be

if people would finally stop buying viagra online, they would cease to
be spammed for

if people would fall for the fake bride scams, I would not receive
boobies by email anymore.


but unfortunately, it seems at some of the spammers customers think with
their genitals instead of their brain still. You can't fix this with a
technical solution.



so, make the customers go away by learning, the business dies down.
simple economics. I belive in simple economics.
