I do think it wise for the "bank" to ask what receiving MTA the token is

In other words, the sender must buy a seperate "stamp" for each message sent,
at the time the message is sent. This precludes "buying a book of stamps"
or "filling the postage meter", and using the postage, as needed, over time.
The suggestion from Benjamin April <ben(_at_)stagecraft(_dot_)net> that an
e-postage token
should have an opaque value makes sense to me.
