The only web description about the mail2news experiment seems to be
this one:
https://ssl.dizum.com/hashcash/
there was/is a fair bit of discussion about it in
news:///alt.privacy.anon-server but it's horribly flooded so quite
hard to find with a news reader; also a lot of the discussion is
political about the claimed economic unfairness against poorer posters
of imposing a cost function related to the speed and hence cost of a
persons computer; probably you'd do better off with groups.google.com
and a search term of "alt.privacy.anon-server hashcash" like this:
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=alt.privacy.anon-server%20hashcash&hl=en&sa=N&tab=wg
google rocks.
