Still, I don't think sender-paid services are the best answer here; it has
already been pointed out that they are creating a market whose profit is
not proportional to the number of spam messages blocked, but rather the
number of messages sent. Thus - in Darwinian fashion - the hard-working
spam blockers will dwindle and go out of business as they cut off their
own food supply. The services that remain in business should be the ones
that are most easily exploited and have the best marketing (to senders).
