Goodmail Systems: Who is it fooling?

Goodmail - Index
“Senders of volume email attach paid stamps to their outgoing messages. These encrypted stamps include verification of the sender’s identity and require the sender to honor a “trusted unsubscribe” mechanism enforced by Goodmail Systems. In return, participating ISPs provide safe passage of stamped mail to recipients, thereby eliminating false positives and allowing legitimate mass mailers to interact with consumers in a reliable, trusted manner.”

The system forces the spammers to pay to the ISP’s (and off course Goodmail) for spam.

I don’t care if the ISP’s benefit from this deal. My mail server is being flooded with spam, my bandwidth is getting used up by spam. I want money from these scumbags! If I want junk email, I will subscribe to it. There is no other way.

“legitimate mass mailers” is an oxymoron. What these guys don’t understand is that the cost is ultimately on users like us and not on ISP’s who merely pass them to us.

I would rather have spammers send me a paypal donation of 1$ with every spam they send me.
