Sorry, but my point of view is that this system is utter bullshit.
1. There already exist solutions which require less processing power
(think of high throughput MTAs) and are proven to work, e.g.
SPF , see spf.pobox.com (Greg? <me ducks>)
2. What I really laugh at is the 'that the message was not tampered
with' part. And who the f..k asserts that the message wasn't
tampered with between sending MUA and MTA (evil grin)?
3. If you wan't to sign a message there's well known and better
solutions like PGP/GnuPG that just don't fit a certain company's web
mail service.
4. Patent claims? For what? This kind of joke can really happen only in
a certain well known country. Wait until a certain breathing
rythm gets patented...
I'm not going to discuss this further. It is OT anyway.
