AOL and Yahoo! are reported to be planning to start charging email senders for each email. They say this will reduce SPAM.
That's crazy.
It won't reduce the amount of SPAM one gets. It only reduces the amount of SPAM BLOCKING that the senders experience. The only way it reduces my SPAM is if I decide to only receive mail from the paying senders. And why would I want to block all the unpaid, legitimate emails I get?
