A lot to do about spam these days. Some of the solutions that are proposed are whitelists ("I know you, you can send me mail") and paid e-mail ("For every mail you send me, you pay me � 0.01). I think a combination of these can be a healthy solution: you pay me � 0.01 to send me a mail, unless you're on my whitelist. Mails like "Hi, I'm tomK, we were on college together, please put me on your whitelist" will become common.
It goes without saying that we need to adapt the e-mail clients also. "Put sender on whitelist" will be an indispensable feature.
