N could be any number, of course. Whatever it is, it would be a cost
factor for spammers. If the approach succeeded in making spam cost

Surely this is not a new idea, but I cannot see any fault. Even if it failed
to rid the world of spam, lol, it still seems to provide an effective

in that case, sharing fictitious addresses would bring down our costs.
