The monopoly came about "organically".
It's not like there was a conspiracy. > You can send it Not even that. Nowadays it's not uncommon for some servers to even refuse the connection. Mind you, I'm not talking about aggressive spammers. And yes, there's pretty much no recourse. |

I'm not nearly as sure. The mechanics of one aren't that hard to imagine. Encourage spammers and make it cheap. Don't ever fight them at their source. Invoke mechanisms that intentionally destroy public utility in public protocols. Force everyone to rely on a small handful of "reputable" senders.
Working backwards from "who decides reputation anyways?" might make it easier to see.
