    Paying for E-Mail May Be Anti-Spam Tactic

    NEW YORK - If the U.S. Postal Service delivered mail for free, our mailboxes would surely runneth over with more credit card offers, sweepstakes entries and supermarket fliers. That's why we get so much junk e-mail: It's essentially free to send. So Microsoft Corp. chairman Bill Gates (news - web sites), among others, is now suggesting that we start buying "stamps" for e-mail....

          Yeah, like US Post can change the world.
          If Microsoft will decide to do that, then there will be a bunch of free programs at the click of the button.
          If US changes its Law to support MS, then Organisations like Human Rights Society would surely sue them for that. Oh common, man, its like asking money for Fresh Air. This ain't never going to work. Empty talks, thats all

                  Now if they'd just find a way to charge people who post rerun threads.

                                      It's the best and simplest idea yet. No wonder BG is so rich.

                                      It would just need you to set your email program to block or very heavily scrub mail coming from free email services and then you will find the whole system will fall into place.

                                      We would be well up on the deal, more of our newsletters would get deleivered, get more attention and lead to more orders. Blind spammers would go out of business. They work on the basis of converting 1 : 100,000. If they had to pay half a cent to send an email then each sale would cost $500.

                                      Think of how much time you waste deleting junk mail, what you might delete by mistake, what you miss getting all together. Then calculate how many emails you send a month. In our case it's about 32,000, so it would cost us $160 a month $5.33 a day.

                                      Bring it on is what we say.

                                          I guess the idea is that an email with a "STAMP" will always go through the server without the risk of being deleted.

                                              I have a hard time believing something like this can actually work in real life. People have already pointed out how would all the countries get involved with the mulitiple currencies. Who is going to be taking the money and how are they going to send me the money for each email I recieve or are they just going to keep the money. I'm also pretty sure scammers and hackers will love finding a way to get past the system and making money from it. I think a system usually actual money will only hurt people that don't spam and the spammers will just find away of getting around it.

                                              The part about asking the sender a question would more than likely work. There are already some services that do that.

                                                  even spammers have to pay to send emails,

                                                  it ain't free to send 10 million emails a day

                                                      Situation is, if something is not done we will drown in a sea of spam.

                                                          You just need one virus built by a scammer, spammer or hacker and the whole system would be useless. I can already think of a couple of ways with a virus that would scam people out of their money.

                                                          I agree that something needs to be done and that the asking the sender a question would probably work best. Now if somebody would do something about all the junk mail sent to my house, I would be a happy dude.

                                                              shows how many of you guys actually read the article. i read it on wired a few weeks ago, the idea is that the computers pay in time, like solving a math algorothm, not in money, so that if you were to send an email it would take a few seonds of processor time, but if you were to send 10 million, your pc would be sitting there for months.

                                                              its a great idea imo, it would stop a lot of spam

                                                                  its a great idea imo, it would stop a lot of spam

I agree, the asking the sender a question would more than likely work. It would have to be a different question for each email and something that a program would not be able to figure out.
