Nice site, clearly written and straight to the point. However I agree with the sentiment that, if it indeed addresses a problem, it tackles it from the wrong angle.
The problem this introduces is that it's useless unless people only email you by replying. If they're replying to you it's probably important, and you don't want to tell someone not to reply or to reply later. And to expect someone to do that is unreasonable.
If someone emails you direct, they don't see your signature. So it doesn't fulfil its purpose then.
Finally, an overflowing inbox shouldn't be the responsibility of someone trying to contact you. Things like labels, filters and priority flags are all tools used by email clients to allow the user/recipient to establish a system to manage large amounts of email that is most suitable for them.
You can't expect the sender to help you manage your time better. And thus if this servie is useful to you, I'd be more inclined to think your email client isn't being worked hard enough.
