yahoo to use public key technology for anti-spam

[Carl Ellison]

I, for one, hate the idea.  My From address should be cme at acm.org.  That's
my remailer where I receive all my incoming e-mail.  However, my outgoing
SMTP server depends on which cable modem provider or hot spot I happen to be
at the moment.  It would be that SMTP machine that signs my outgoing mail,
not acm.org who never sees my outgoing mail.

So, in capsule: this proposal assumes that you use the same machine for
outgoing and incoming e-mail.
