In part 5, I also go through why none of the proposals are really "anti-spam" and promotion of the methods as such is misleading.
No matter how the authors may "promote" their methods, most people don't perceive that there's any great separation between anti-spam and anti-forgery techniques. As far as they're concerned, all e-mail threats are basically the same. E-mail authentication's promise is that it will improve the overall state of the global e-mail infrastructure. Chopping that into smaller bits may be a fun intellectual exercise, but it doesn't help explain what's going on to anyone outside of our fairly small technology-focused circles. -- J.D.
