It seems to me that sender pays means the third world gets excluded from email communication. Whether it's actual money or if it's just CPU cycles, that model simply doesn't work for a group of people trying to communicate effectively with "richer" nations. You might as well just use http://www.blackholes.us/

not true.  If you design the sender pays system correctly, even weak machines
can participate.  In the camram model, only the first couple of messages have
"high-cost" Stamps.  Every other message to a known recipient or from a known
recipient comes at a much lower cost.
