I'm wondering if anyone knows of any sort of protocol or system built to
handle "email postage." I'm of the belief that as long as email is an
essentially free service, people will always find a way to abuse it, and I'd
like to know if there's any sort of work going on in this area, research,
etc.
Before you ask - no, I don't think the USPS has any business charging for
email, nor any other governmental entity. I'm talking about doing this on a
private, per-host basis, with the possibility of peering agreements,
pay-as-you-go for email transmission, automated exchange of payment info,
etc.
Just bored at work and looking for something to fool around with. I've got
a feeling QMTP could probably do something with this pretty easily. I've no
idea how you'd be able to integrate MUA's.
