You know, we could kill spam tomorrow if we could just convince 
people to set up & use PGP, and then drop all non-PGP-encrypted 
stuff at the MX.

It's a "computational puzzle" that I don't believe would be 
onerous to list servers.  It's free (or, can be free if you want 
it to be) but would be a PITA for spammers to implement on a 
scale of millions.

I'd ask John Sechrest to set up the MX at PEAK to reject all 
non-PGP mail coming to me tomorrow...

... IF I could only convince enough people out there to adopt this 
solution that already has RFCs in place.
