Spam is a business, $0.001 per email and it is no longer profitable.

'Meat space' advertising rates are 10x higher, so they can afford postage.

Has anyone done any detailed protocol work on how bitcoin micropayments might be used to incentivise email acceptance (ie as an antispam measure), or otherwise add security features to existing internet protocols?

Why would poor people (not able to pay a fee) be more spammy than rich people (who can afford to pay to send spam, as spamming companies do with snail mail)?
