I want a whitelisting system for email where: * If you're whitelisted you get through or I can manually whitelist you. * If you're not whitelisted, I send a bounceback response stating that I'll look at your email for $X where X is set by me ( e.g. $0.25 or $1, but I decide). No guarantee of refund, but I have the option of refunding. For me, if you wasted my time, I won't refund. However, if you're a legit human that isn't marketing to me, then I would refund. Then, I just adjust the price until spam disappears or I'm willing to look at your spam at that price.

I want a system where I can create destroyable email addresses, so when I sign up for something it creates a single channel, and if they resell that email address I can burn that channel. Unfortunately `+alias`ing built into gmail is too easy to subvert as everything after the + can be removed and the email will still reach me.

  There are plenty of services that allows that. One is Apple's [Hide My Email](https://support.apple.com/guide/icloud/what-you-can-do-with-icloud-and-hide-my-email-mme38e1602db/1.0/icloud/1.0 https://support.apple.com/guide/icloud/what-you-can-do-with-...) and Firefox's [Relay](https://relay.firefox.com/ https://relay.firefox.com/).

  Fastmail's "Masked Email" feature will do this. You can create unique addresses for services. And then you can deactivate them to block future emails arriving at that alias. And the aliases are random (couple of random words and some numbers e.g. busy.sock2881@fastmail.com ) so can't be externally linked back to the main address.

  :-) Not sure about the legality and such, but rate limiting by economics does work for my physical mailbox. I get spam, but it isn't 1000+ letters a day like my email inbox. If I was allowed to increase the cost of delivery to my house, I think I could eliminate most physical spam mail in my physical mailbox as well or happily find a price where I'd quit my dayjob and just read whatever physical spam is sent at an hourly rate I'd like.

I like the first part. In fact, Hey email had this concept and was the only thing I liked of that horrible email service. I would like to see that somewhere else.
