Dave,

This proposal, from AOL, Yahoo, Earthlink, MS, etc., won't stop
spammers of course, but would utterly obliterate all but the 
smallest legit mailing lists -- unless, one assumes, you pony up 
extra money for additional e-mail allocations.  Spam could turn out 
to be the holy grail of excuses for ISPs looking for a way to 
move into the lucrative world of usage-sensitive pricing.
