| In practice though, 99% of your mail is either whitelisted or sent to
| a dated address.

It is that remaining 1% of legitimate mail being bounced that I find
unacceptable.

| As for stopping spam, of course it does.  It stops spam from getting
| into your inbox.  Do you actually have a suggestion for something
| which will stop spam for good?

Hashcash.  Not X-Hashcash, real hashcash.
