Paul English's anti-spam proposal

My friend Paul English, has a proposal for reducing spam that he summarizes thusly:

Summary: The major email service providers have been working on "sender identification" systems to stop spammers from hiding behind other email addresses. This document attempts to outline how these sender identification systems should be rolled out so they can be effectively used by non-technical consumers and small email service providers.

This is one of the many sorts of things of which I don't trust my understanding, but I do know that Paul is exceedingly smart and good-hearted. Also, he says his proposal would still enable anonymity, an issue that matters to him and me. You can read the whole thing here. [Technorati tags: spam email PaulEnglish]
