I think what he's saying is that you would have to put the money up front, before your email would be delivered.
So, some kid with 3 million AOL addresses couldn't send any emails unless he put into escrow the combined total of the money that every one of those 3 million people required to get an email. Say each one wants $00.01, the kid would have to put $30,000 in escrow before his email would be delivered. If the messages were spam, then each user would keep the .01 - if it was real mail, they would just let the money stay in escrow for whoever sent the mail.
Does anyone know more about this proposal? Is this something new or do anti-spammers already have a working version somewhere?
