A new, spam-related, US Patent was issued today. It is a continuation in
part of US Patent 6,192,114 which is on the first list of patents I
posted to this group.

See: http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?patentnumber=6587550

US Patent 6,587,550
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENABLING A FEE TO BE CHARGED TO A PARTY
INITIATING AN ELECTRONIC MAIL COMMUNICATION WHEN THE PARTY IS NOT ON AN
AUTHORIZATION LIST ASSOCIATED WITH THE PARTY TO WHOM THE COMMUNICATION
IS DIRECTED 

Abstract
A method and apparatus for determining whether a party sending an email
communication is on a list of parties authorized by the intended
receiving party. If the sending party is not on the list of authorized
parties, an electronic billing agreement is emailed to the sending party
indicating a fee that will be charged to the sending party in return for
the message being provided to the intended receiving party. Preferably,
the present invention is implemented with Internet communications and
utilizes a security protocol to enable the electronic transaction to be
transacted in a secure manner.
