Hi All, I generally lurk here but a small comment on this.. Reading the thread, my humble opinion: @Elad - noting the comments, I think I do agree that email problems / solutions might be better submitted as an RFC (https://www.ietf.org/standards/rfcs/) .. Ripe is a LIR mainly tasked with administering IP number resources. ... At the same time, I do love your obvious passion for addressing problems and looking freshly at possible solutions. Regarding the upcoming election - I have just had a look at the page with Candidate Biographies to judge a little how I might vote - at https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2020/candidate-biographies .. and I can't see you there, so would suggest please to submit / add a biography if this is not already in the works (and I hope all candidates do too). NB - be careful that if you do come up with a solution to fix spam once and for all then beware that you also put a USD $10 Billion value on your own head (this is the rough value annually of the anti-spam industry!) (Comment partly in jest, partly from experience and observation). I hope everyone has a good rest of the weekend.

This is Elad trying to position himself for the upcoming election. This is an election campaign. Nothing more. https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2020/confirmed-candidates<https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2020/confirmed-candidates> Elon, just save your next typing. You will immead scream that I am running an "illegal cyber defamation campaign" against you. Sure. whatever.

You try to find or present solutions to problems that doesnt exist. While you think a lot on your ideas technically, please note that this is only 1/3 of the things you need to take care of. In this specific case you want to outsource the servers job of filtering SPAM out competely to the client. This is not how this was designed. You are thinking that email clients always have a UI or at least some bigger code behind it that is able to do a lot of stuff. There exist email clients in the world that have only <100 lines of code and are only text based (as email is from the ground up). We are completely the wrong audience group for your emails.
