Ruining email

June 30th, 2003 · No Comments

Yeah, spam is ruining email, but so will the widespread deployment of challenge-response systems for dealing with spam. Patrick Nielsen Hayden posted a first hand account of this problem. I’ve only ever sent email to one person who had put such a system in place (ironically, I was responding to an email that they had sent to me). I just ignored the challenge email and let it drop.
