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

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.
The latter part does not make my statement false. There are lots of
systems where the majority of email recipients are first-timers.
