	I'm with Sean. I don't think that's a problem with the protocols used 
today. The biggest problem is already known by almost everyone involved 
on this kind of discussion: the receiver's resources being used by 
anyone who want to send a message.
	If the receiver is paying, why not to spam their mailboxes?
	Of course that authentication is important too, but I don't think 
that's the major problem because if we're talking about rewrite the 
internet mail protocols, then we are talking about a chance that we have 
to implement this on those new protocols.
