I was struggling with spamassassin and attemping to implement reject- -at-smtp time filtering, and reading about this 'hashcash' idea, several years ago and thinking maybe it would be nice if someone would *pay* me to read their email. We have lots of privacyscam hash-cash code running around these days, so what are the chances of just advertising you only accept mail that includes a *coin payment to the recipient? (Granted, it's low because most *coiners don't seem to understand what mail is given they can't even figure out how to install mailman, but the hope remains) -- Troy
