The major flaw in the U.S. "Do not spam" list idea... - GoFuckYourself.com

In the U.S., it'll be the "Do not spam list".....

In every other country, it will be the "HUGE FREE LIST OF MILLIONS U.S. E-MAIL ADDRESSES"

As much as I hate spam, theres no way i'd ever sign up for this.

You may have something there. Similar process taken when someone clicks the "remove me" link in an email.

Depends on how the system is going to work. If they plan on making the list publically available your scenario will likely prove to be true. However, if the people operating the list have any brains they'll make it so you submit your list and they return the names that are ok to mail.

That's what I assumed would happen. Surely they wouldn't make the list publicly available.

whoooooooooooooooshhhhhhhhhh

can you hear it?

Good point. IF the list becomes available for free or pay, there are two p.o.v's that I can think of:

If you do spam someone who bothered to put themselves on the Do Not Spam list, they will kick and scream and raise holy hell if any spam does get through to them

OR

your spam will hit a consumer who is now re-sensitized to spam, since he's not used to getting as much anymore.

Either-or.

yeah and take out a $.05 per email too ..atleast an amount or else we will see 500 000 emails a day.

I think I might just sign up for that list and forward every fucking spam I get..... I get thousands a day; I'm sure it will keep them rather busy.

like hell some one is going to submit their opt in list to anybody.. i don't give a fuck if they are the "fbi" .. they can still get hacked and they will never see my list.. plus people pure spamming have about 500 mil lists.. it would take hours upon hours just to filters 1 persons list.. if 50 people submit their lists in 1 day.. they would be backed up for a month filtering out the bad emails

Not to mention new people being added constantly. A list that was just cleaned would be dirty in minutes possibly.

Mailer downloads encrypted DO NOT SPAM list and a program that runs his list against the encrypted DO NOT SPAM list.

Yes - interesting point.

I think the global do not spam list should be all email addresses used in domain name registrations. Only the registrar and approved email addresses could send send email to those addresses and that this should be built into the DNS.

I still get most of my spam to addresses used solely in domain registrations.

Something has to be done as now just opening email in a web based program has your "valid" address flagged.
