ASK, TMDA, etc. seek to implement a notion in which the computational
burden of spam and malware is shifted to the client/sender.  This
generates a lot of extra traffic and work without the promised
benefits -- as witnessed here.

What would it do with my hotel reservation confirmation email?

Of course, blacklists don't work, either. ;-)  And my Bayesian
spam filter (attempting to catch what the blacklists don't)
occasionally tags legitimate mail as spam.

Well, David, five nines to a cryptographer isn't a very high
percentage. Of course, my ISP thinks that three nines of
uptime is unattainable...
