Postage Is Due for Companies Sending E-Mail - New York Times

Companies will soon have to buy the electronic equivalent of a postage stamp if they want to be certain that their e-mail will be delivered to many of their customers.
Skip to next paragraph

America Online and Yahoo, two of the world’s largest providers of e-mail accounts, are about to start using a system that gives preferential treatment to messages from companies that pay from 1/4 of a cent to a penny each to have them delivered. The senders must promise to contact only people who have agreed to receive their messages, or risk being blocked entirely.

The Internet companies say that this will help them identify legitimate mail and cut down on junk e-mail, identity-theft scams and other scourges that plague users of their services. They also stand to earn millions of dollars a year from the system if it is widely adopted.

AOL and Yahoo will still accept e-mail from senders who have not paid, but the paid messages will be given special treatment. On AOL, for example, they will go straight to users’ main mailboxes, and will not have to pass the gantlet of spam filters that could divert them to a junk-mail folder or strip them of images and Web links. As is the case now, mail arriving from addresses that users have added to their AOL address books will not be treated as spam.

I don’t know about this, it’s been talked about before but it seems no one has ever gotten the whole “pay for email” boat in the water. My guess is because the company that initiates it is going to be hated by the world - hence that’s why AOL and Yahoo are agreeing together is my guess. If it has to happen at least they are not forcing you to pay, rather giving you the option of delivery confirmation. I pay $0.35 now for that with USPS, so I suppose 1/4 of a cen’t isn’t too horid. Although I would love to see a charge on my CC for $0.0025.
