Charge For Email Access To You
People who are tired of all the spam mail they receive can now turn to boxbe for help. This service was recently started to combat spam messages and may actually succeed.
The service allows users to list email addresses of their friends and then charge a fee for others to send you any message. This fee is set to whatever value you decide from a few cents to $99. If the sender pays the fee, you receive the message and after confirming either you or your choice of charity will receive the money from the message. Of course you will have to collect a certain amount before any money is sent. Boxbe allows users to provide information about themselves as a way to advertise yourself to advertisers.
How popular this will become is completely unknown, but if it provides a way to stop unwanted spam or at least charge spammers for annoying us, it is definitely a needed service.
