First of all, mine is a real-life personal and interactive whitelist--not some 3rd party draconian impersonal often-times arbitrary and static list. You are responded to immediately with a delightful and short message, with a trivial hoop to jump through. A trivial solution THAT SOLVES SPAM!
Second of all, everyone should be using some form of "whitelisting". "They" really should have standardized something already. It's ridiculous that we are resorting to flawed or draconian filtering methods, when a simple authentication scheme would work perfectly, albeit *slightly* different than the original vision of email.
