(BTW, it verified here.)

If "digital postage" is ever implemented, this sort of distributed-origin mailbomb-through-a-remailer would be stopped immediately. All the messages that the horny net geeks send would necessarily contain the same postage stamp, and the remailer would notice this right away -- and throw away messages containing the used postage stamp.

One more motivation for e$-like digital postage for remailers.

Unfortunately this is not the case. The perpetrator would simply have to convince the horny net geeks to pay their own postage. In fact, it is *in general* impossible to have both anonymity and prevention/control of mail-bombing. Of course digital postage will help the problem somewhat by making the bombers pay for it, and smarter filters on the recipient's end will help, but in general it is a problem we are going to have to live with if we want anonymity.
