Amazon buys cryptographic cookies and puts them in the email header.

What does Grandma buy?

These can be verified independently by a receiver (MUA, MTA, whatever,
that's policy.)

What stops Amazon from re-using the purchased cookies?  Panix has no
way of knowing if World received email that used the same cookie.

But here's a better one: Limits, unless explicitly waived.

Grandma can send, I dunno, pick a number, 1,000 free messages a day

Enforced by whom?

(receiving isn't involved), that'd slow down any spammer.

Like one with 10 million zombies?

 Maybe as an ISP I'd up you to 10,000/day free merely for asking,
grandma would never ask, if you're aware enough to ask you probably
aren't that likely to be zombied.

Are you going to pay real people to answer the phone, or will you
accept requests by computer (from zombies)?
