I'm in a data communications class and my teacher suggested a way to solve spam that made a lot of sense to me the more I thought about it.
If email ceased to be free and we were charged like .001 cents per email--spammers wouldn't be able to afford to send out billions of spam messages a day.
How can we get the biggest email providers to get in on this? Seriously, we get MSN, Gmail and Yahoo Mail and that probably covers the majority of email providers and servers.
Is this even viable in the real world? (Aside from the fact that people don't want to go from "free" to "not free"--even though we are all incurring the costs of spam indirectly)
