E-mail is terrible but still necessary. I want an e-mail service that interfaces with (the new) nostr DMs. That I can set aliases like simplelogin, and maybe use own domains. Pay per feature with my sats. Who wants to build it?

Was literally contemplating on this idea in last couple of days

Tarpits should absolutely cost something to the sender, not the processor. Email should have been developed this way, but like the USPS does for mailers.

I would get involved in a project like that. I'm not a developer, but I've been hosting Internet email since UUCP was a thing, and could probably find other ways to contribute like testing and documenting.
I think if email had been developed that way, we wouldn't use email. We would have invented a different way to talk to each other for free.

The cost from somewhere. We stamp letters to ensure it is processed and sent, with proof of payment for then service itself. What's the difference, again?

I am with you! I hate emails as well. It would be a good way for aliases, but would not solve the insecure aspect of emails. Let's see if I can come up with a prototype on the weekend.
