Dear Philip and Eliot,

Without going through the full-bore version of this discussion, I have to say I was discouraged when the best IETF participants could do (when some unfamiliar person started e-mailing people who had registered for the the social and asking for more details on credit cards) was to e-mail the IETF Discussion list and ask, "is this a phishing attack?"

Given the current state of the art, that was NOT a bad solution!

I'm not trying to prove the existence of a final ultimate solution to spam simply because a problem exists, I'm simply trying to say that ordinary people who don't belong to a mailing list with an awful lot of SMTP talent may have even fewer resources in trying to use the Internet as a tool, but not a self-inflicted burglary tool :-(

Currently Internet crime is costing around a billion to ten billion
dollars a year. At what point do you feel that there is a crisis worthy of your attention?
