This is a device used for fighting Spam. The sender creates a
header in the outgoing mail for each recipient; this hash is
computationally expensive to create, but easy to veryfy, asnd the
string used as input contain the destination address and a timestamp,
so it is not easy to reuse.
Popular Spam prevention software like spamassassin verifies the
hash, and if successful, scores the mail as not Spam. It also creates a
store of hashcash numbers found to prevent replay attacks.
So, as a sender, I have my computer spend a few seconds while
sending out mail in return for a higher likelyhood that my email does
not end up in the spam filter.
The example given on the hashcash page is:
% echo -n 0:030626:adam@cypherspace.org:6470e06d773e05a8 | sha1
00000000c70db7389f241b8f441fcf068aead3f0
This is a hashcash created for adam@cypherspace.org on
03/06/26, which has an 32-bit collision with the all 0 string.

It does work with sendmail.el, as far as I can tell.
