If you create a smtpv2 that can guarantee encryption (ok, who cares) but mostly that guarantees the origin of the email, then the gmails of this world should go softer on classifying those emails as spam, and it won’t take long before only spammers and some forgotten box in a closet are using the old smtp, then its death would be imminent.
- Beltalowda 4y agoWhat do you mean "guarantees the origin of the email" though? That it was you who sent it? That you're allowed to send emails from mymail@example.com? The latter has been solved for some time; the first one is harder, but solvable through GPG or S/MIME, but few seems to have any interest in implementing it. That won't stop anyone from creating a new email address (or mail server) that sends out spam though.
