It is good to see that people are working on "solutions", rather
than more "filter techniques".  The only thing about this
solution I question is that verifying the sender only
addresses part of the problem. The problem will still continue,
as hackers use hijacked email accounts to spam others with
porn and other offensive email (presumably, these will still
authenticate as senders).

For my kids, _I_ want solicited only email. So will many
other parents. Probably many grandmothers etc., will
want the same.
