Yeah, I was the last one.

Short answer: It would not work with typical email addresses because 
their "key space" is too small, enumeration and hash checking would be 
possible.

The real weapon against spammers would be a "transport web of trust" 
i.e. a "transport signature" by a key which is considered valid for 
delivering email. But that is ten years from now.
