Another anti-spam coalition The Network Advertising Initiative has formed an Email Service Provider Coalition which has announced the intention to create an industrywide whitelist for mailing list companies called Project Lumos. I believe that a widely available whitelist of decent mailing lists companies would be beneficial, but I don't think that the NAI would be neutral enough. The biggest advocate for this whitelist appears to be Topica (they're hosting ESPC's mailing list, for example) which is on several spam blacklists. It appears that Topica's attempt to get whitelisted via Habeas didn't work out.   10:07:11 AM    comment []
