> 2.2 Overview of solution
> Every email user has one or more identities, represented by cryptographic keys.
> All email is digitally signed using the cryptographic keys.
> No email is delivered unless it carries a digital stamp issued by the recipient, or someone authorised to issue one on behalf of the recipient.
Ahhh, yes... yet another Final Ultimate Solution to the Spam Problem (FUSSP) [0]:

> The FUSSP requires that anyone wanting to send mail obtain a certificate that will be checked by all SMTP servers.

> The FUSSP assumes that your attention is so important that strangers will pay money to send you mail.
