No, because you don't don't actually need to store one messgae per sent message. You just need to be able to recreate the message upon request. Die to the nature of spam being identical or slightly modified messages it is trivial to just generate the messgae on the fly.
- jefftk 5y agoThis is solvable: when the recipient client accepts the senders notification, they return a nonce. Later, when they look up the message in the sender's inbox, they reject the message if the sender can't include the nonce. On the other hand, disk space is so cheap this doesn't help very much.
- kevincox 5y agoYup, with cheap disk space your nonce would need to be huge to actually be a deterrant. Especially if you only need to keep messages for a week or two for 99% of people who will ever read it to read it.
