So you can send 360 mail a day.  Assuming your 24/7 business make 700
Euro a day each mail costs you 2 Euro - snail mail would be much cheaper
(or de-mail ;-).

We had the discussion on proof-of-work as anti-spam measure more than a
decade ago and the outcome was that it won't work.  I can't see that any
parameters changed since then.
