Hmm. Kinda like TMDA. I don't bother responding to anyone who uses
TMDA-like systems.
One thing that definitely needs to be kept in consideration is the
amount of additional hassle that is caused by any system we recommend.
understood and I agree. It is your right to ignore such a message and if you're
willing to accept the consequences of your message not being seen, then all is
wonderful. The only reason the postage due mechanism is there is for a
failsafe/fallback action that allows the message sender to insure message
delivery. Is not intended to be the general case mechanism for supplying
postage. I have spent a fair amount of time showing the postage due mechanism
to non-geeks and 80 percent get it right off the bat and the rest become
comfortable after asking some questions about operation, what it does, how long
it takes etc.
