Thread Name: BS: Surreal spam
Subject: RE: BS: Surreal spam
I read about a proposal some time ago to institute a mandatory delay of a fraction of a second before each email message gets sent out. This wouldn't affect us mortal emailers but would throw a giant monkey wrench into the works for spammers, as instead of being able to send 100,000 messages instantaneously, it would take them several hours to do so. Anybody know if this idea is still in the works?

Aloha,
Mark
