I wonder if the problems of mailing lists are sufficient reason not to
implement a reasonable spam preventative.
I know the members of this list have a valid concern about the needs of
mailing lists, but I would suggest that the vast majority of email users
do not share those concerns.
At any rate, I tend to think that mailing lists are better handled using
NNTP.

Wait a second. Most of my incoming email comes from mailing lists.
And in that case, if I read your proposal correctly, I'd have to
provide them with the stamps. Said stamps take 10 minutes each to
generate. I currently *average* 1800 incoming messages a week. (I
love Eudora's "Statistics" window.)
Or in other words. I'm going to need two machines dedicated to
generating stamps 24 hours a day just so that I can read my mailing
lists.
Did I miss something?

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so
unwilling to accept responsibility for their own actions, or
that they are so eager to regulate everyone else's.
