An interesting problem with anonymous postage is that it is likely to kill cover traffic generators.
I doubt it. It's easy enough for remailers to, for example, pass out free tokens to other remailer operators.
(Jukebox and other coin-op concessions often pass out tokens (slugs, or marked coins) to storeowners and bartenders to use to stimulate the market.)
Wouldn't the "income" from other cover generators help cover the cost of a remailer running its own cover generator? Also - remailers could possibly give postage free service to traffic for other remailers.... i.e. only the last node (who has the most exposure anyways) would require payment.
