I don't think any one step will solve all our spam problems but I wouldn't mind spending, say, 5 cents for each real piece of mail I sent outside my company and if end machines charged 5 cents per piece of ouside mail received, I think spamming would be crippled. (Note that with bad guy lists, you could collect the money and then just throw away the mail.)
So would you be willing to pay $50.00 for this message you sent to cypherpunks? If there are a thousand recipients and each one charges $0.05 for the priveledge of you sending it e-mail.... It seems like such a scheme would not only cripple spam, but public discussion lists like this one. andrew
