This looks interesting.
How does it handle spoofed email addresses?
A feature I'd like along with this (although I realise this breaks the paradigm of only accepting email you actively want) would be to let unwanted people email me provided they completed a certain amount of mechanical Turk effort up to a suitable standard (ie you'd have a handful of known good values interspersed and see that they gave the expected scores). For some it could be a direct earner of a very modest but for me it would be directly useful for various ML projects.
If you had a really inflated self image, you could have those you really didn't like get a higher target (whether that was communicated would be a interesting point)
- charles_f 6y agoIt doesn't, however it's less of a security related thing than a sorting filter. I haven't received a spoofed email in a while so the need is not as high. Re: your mechanical turk idea, my email provider actually has something like that: https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/1144Docs/BoxTrapper https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/1144Docs/BoxTrapper - however there are so many use-cases where I think this would block some email I actually want (like my kid's school, my MD, ...) that I never dared doing it.
- pkulak 6y agoYou can't really spoof from addresses anymore. I mean, you can, but no email provider will accept it. See SPF, DKIM, etc. That part of why sorting based on sender is such a good idea.
