It isnt "Pay" as in money but you pay with CPU cycles wasted on decrypting a packet of data and thus eliminating the "Mass" emailing.

For it to work _EVERYONE_ would have to upgrade mail servers which would make it virtually impossible.

The only true way to eliminate spam is to have an AI filtering program which would dynamically pick up on the spam and learn along side the spammers.

Another way to get rid of spam is to have your mail server scan ips of SMTP servers connecting and reject the mail if it finds open proxy ports as the majority of spam gets sent via open proxy servers which get installed on unpatched M$ machines.
