Over past years, the rate and frequency at which computer users receive unwanted and unsolicited e-mail (colloquially known as "Spam") has increased significantly. In many regions the problem has become so severe so as to perhaps threaten the viability of e-mail as a useful communication medium. It is time that something needs to be done. This paper is a draft-for-comment of a comprehensive proposal containing a technology and policy approach to actually reducing spam. Microsoft believes that through coordinated action by the participants in the Internet e-mail community, significant progress in deterring spam can be made, and computer users everywhere will experience significant reductions in undesired and unwanted e-mail correspondence.
