I've seen similar ideas before; what I gather third parties could sell 
stamps. You have your email account configured to only look at emails 
that have whatever minimum monetary value. For example I could have it 
set to 30 cents, if your email doesn't have a 30 cent stamp I don't see it.

There are other solutions where sender pays postage, but it isn't 
collected unless the recipient cashes out the stamp. E.g., if I don't 
like the email the eStamp's value would go to my paypal account (with 
the eStamp issuer taking his slice.)

These solutions aren't that bad; they prevent spam.

Cheers,
Alex
