[hashcash] dogleg mail routing

one of the ways I deal with being blocked by idiot blacklists is to route through a friend's mail server. That server may be going away which means there's a few domains I can't send e-mail to any more.

It occurs to me that we could create a relatively abuse resistance ad hoc network of dogleg routers for mail if each message had not one but two stamps. One stamp would be for the destination address and the other would be for the mail server.

Now I haven't thought this out much but I just want to float the idea and see how we can weaken it to minimize load on the message originator and strengthen it against spammers.

I also want to minimize the workload on the dogleg router administrator as well.

just thinking aloud.
