What is a RAPNAP client? A quick search on google doesn't turn up much.

For list subscribers who aren't familiar with David's pay2send project...
The short summary, is that it is an email service which solves the problem
of receiving undesired email by creating a default toll/filter on
unsolicited email. I.e., when the recipient puts a token price on the act of
sending them an email, spam finally has an associated cost for the spammer.
Plus, receiving email becomes a potential mechanism for putting pennies in
your own jar :) 

I've finally replaced sendmail with qmail at home. I think a grounding talk
on how internet email works with a side on spam filtering would be an
interesting presentation in itself. And could be used as a foundation for a
presentation on the architecture of pay2send and a discussion of the
problems it solves. There is so much detail to be covered... that if you'd
be willing... it'd probably be easier for us lay-people to follow in 2
installments instead of 1 whirlwind tour ;)

However you decide to do it, I'd love to hear more about your progress with
pay2send.
