The Spam Wars
Todd Marshall has a good story on ZDNet.com about a new approach in the fight against Spam. Basically all e-mail a person sends would be stored on the sender's ISP server until the intended recipient checked his e-mail and decides which e-mails he wants downloaded onto his computer.
This new approach would make it next to impossible for a Spammer to hide his identity, or spoof the headers of an e-mail and even better if the Spammer is sending out 10,000 e-mails at a time all of those messages would then be stored on his ISP's server, and I don't know of any ISP who would appreciate or tolerate a customer storing thousands of e-mails at a time on their servers.
