I am not sure how much junk mail this would actually prevent, I still get loads of junk in my physical mailbox so I guess they don't mind to pay a few cents to deliver their ads. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

Don't think it will prevent any junk mail. Just ensure that valid email accompanied by cash doesn't go through the junk filters. The sad thing is that I believe many companies will sign on for this. I've seen a lot of AOL/Yahoo instructions for how to whitelist an email on some very large corporate sites. It's a principle of business that it costs more to get back a lost customer than to get a new one and keeping an existing custome is a pittance compared to getting a new one. If you were Ford, or Panasonic, or Barclays Bank - or even Paypall, it would just make good business sense to ensure that your customer communications get through. -------------

I agree with that. Larger companies that actually have something to loose will consider something like this.
Something like this should be done on a more general scale though, more like a central location where those "safe" originators are housed. But then again who would get that money :) ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |
