I made it a few dozen pages into the white paper, it's 200+ pages long
and TBH just rambles on about what spam bots are and other basic
definitions.
No one who doesn't know all that will even attempt to read your paper
I don't think.
THAT SAID, I got to the point where it required CAPTCHAs of senders
and thought well, that's theoretically possible, but quite a threshold
to expect of others who may not much care if you read their email, but
you the recipient may care a lot and oh well you never get the mail.
It doesn't add much, really, and spammers figured out how to bust
things like CAPTCHAs decades ago*.
I accept there's probably more to your idea, put it on one or two
pages.
* Take the CAPTCHA image, flash it up on another site which offers
access to free porn for solving the CAPTCHA, forward answer to
original site.
