An alternative
Consider another alternative: EmailXT

EmailXT is an email protocol that builds on top of the existing infrastructure. How to stop spam and viruses using EmailXT? Install a compatible application. It looks unbelievably simple, but it is that simple. All it needs is adoption. And no, it does not require cooperation from everybody at once...

However, being a more complex system than current email, it does require users to manage more than just simple email addresses.

If you want to try it out, go to www.emailxt.com and download the client app. Watch out for the bugs 'cos it's an alpha version. Actually you need two installations so that you can test email send/receive.

My contribution in search of a solution...
