The spammers will work around this in a week, and will end up billing invalid accounts or valid ones incorrectly. There is nothing in an e-mail packet that can&#8217;t be spoofed. Including any &#8216;accounting&#8217; that might be required. <\/p>\n<p>Given the fact that e-mail has never been a &#8216;Guaranteed&#8217; protocol in the TCP\/IP stack. How would AOL or Yahoo indemnify e-mail? They couldn&#8217;t, so they are selling vapor. They could only ensure email delivery within their own systems, and even that would be questionable. <\/p>\n<p>This is more of what the telco&#8217;s are already trying to do by having everyone pay double for what they have already paid for. Paying double for bandwidth, pay double for e-mail.<\/p>\n<p>Another Rip-off scam by big business.  <\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AOL and Yahoo have got to have some nerve, claiming that this will stop spam!
