Email is a pressing concern for me today.
First, there are the anti-spam proposals at ISPCON. One company wants to prioritize legitimate email. How do you distinguish between legitimate email and illegitimate email? If it were possible, we wouldn't have a spam problem. Another company wants mailers to pay a deposit up front which will be disbersed to recipients who complain. Many ISPs make it easier for recipients to report a message as spam rather than unsubscribe. Yahoo hides our unsubscribe instructions! Another company wants to force mailers to visit a webpage and perform an action in order to deliver a message. We get thousands of subscribers a day. What on earth are they thinking?
Then there's disc.server.com which apparently hasn't been able to receive email messages for several weeks. I'm guessing it has to do with a patch that our ISP installed.
Finally, our one of the nameservers for Server.com was returning the incorrect MX for grapps.server.com.
If the IETF wants to overhaul email, they won't hear me complain.
