I'd love to hear, not here particularly, from someone very
knowledgeable about the history of postal fraud and abuse.

I suspect there are more than a few parallels and we'd find out how
much of our efforts amount to reinventing wheels once one peels away
the technical abstractions and jargon. Basically authentication for
starters.

(And if someone is about to explain the difference between paper and
electronic mail, per piece cost and all that, please spare us.)
