How about a new RFC outlining a method of dynamically delivering a relay host native to whatever service provider you dial in to ?? That way, any e-mail can be traced to a supposedly responsible end-user by the victimized ISP ??
Naaaaa.
Na. Howabout making sure that *every* dial in user has a fixed IP address. This way you can match *in real time* or later, without logs who did what. OK this only fixes dial-up accounts, but that is a majot part of the problem - and permenantly connected sites already have fixed IP address space. To anticipate the next flame - it is feasible, we do it. Demon that is.
