With pay2send:
You don't pay to send. The pay2send system makes others (advertisers, new customers, new clients) pay to send to you,
otherwise we bounce their mail.

Instead of the metaphor of The Post Office as the controlling metaphor
for e-mail, pay2send's "advenge" SMTP server considers e-mail to be a crowd of rowdy drunks
who want to enter your respectable entertainment venue. We impose
a cover charge on "guests" who aren't on the guestlist and don't
know a magic phrase (like "the Mole is grounded") which with to get
past the doorman. Every time the doorman lets someone new in to the party
in your in-box, he reports this to you so you can instruct him to let
this person (or mailing list) in again the next time he sees them. Furthermore,
you can set the cover charge for uninvited guests to whatever you see fit.
You can have as many magic phrases as you need.
As a pay2send associate, you get an e-mail address that you can
distribute safely, without fear of mailbox overwhelm from commercial
messages and other junk.
Instead of just your address, give new friends your address and
a "magic phrase" that they must include in their first message
to you. This password allows their message to get past the bouncer
who protects your inbox, and the bouncer also will present you with
a set of magic buttons you can use to add your new friend to your
guest list.
And if someone is not on your guest list already and they don't know
any of your magic phrases, they can still get into your inbox -- but only
if they pay in advance!
How the money part works
In 1996, we set up the
widely imitated tipjar transaction service. Pay2send is a system for
priming the tipjar system with advertiser money, so that tipjar can
gain momentum.
Paying senders fund their pay2send accounts through the tipjar system
(which ultimately still requires a check or money order to be sent
to tipjar's post office box, at this time) and
paid receivers' funds accumulated in
their pay2send accounts can be transferred to tipjar accounts, and
subsequently transferred to other e-mail accounts, or drawn out as
mailed paper checks, at will.
Operators of e-mail domains who join the pay2send sender-pays infrastructure
will be able to use pay2send account funds to pay ISP bills, or issue
refunds, so that associates of member domains will be able to use their internet
service provider as their point of contact into the tipjar/pay2send
financial system.
Milestones:
forwarding mail to @pay2send.com addresses, with the
return address rewritten. working
An architecture for guestlisting that allows mailing list subscription
with little foreknowledge of the mailing list and little knowledge of
how e-mail works designed and in place! Need to apply for another patent.
blocking messages from non-guestlist senders and sources BLOCKED!
tools for editing guestlists in associate records editable!
have the edit/doedit working
need to add to the record from the magic links
need to rework interface so it isn't One Big Page (?)
the interface continues to improve
need to alter edit/doedit to use AIS account instead of in-URL key
move pay2send MX to own machine, to reject unwanted messages at
the server
instead of simply bouncing
messages to their return addresses the advenge SMTPD has been running for months now without problems, and is being improved constantly
