Mel.
That's only part of the system. The best way to set this up is, first, a
whitelist. If the sender is in your address book or some other such
list, then the message is allowed through. It's only if the message
fails the whitelist that it is challenged. Either by a math puzzle, a
Human Interaction Puzzle (HIP, something that's very easy for a human to
do, but very hard for a computer), or a micro-payment, either to the
recipient or to a charity, perhaps.
The whole idea is to make sending spam (so that it actually gets in
front of your eyes) prohibitively expensive. This system could actually
be implemented unilaterally. If Mozilla were to build such a system into
Mozilla mail and Thunderbird, it could be advertised as a virtually
spam-free email client. Cool.
