Not everyone does this. Im a student, i know a lot of students that pay bills the snail-mail way. I could imagine HN has a someone older and more financially stable community.

I second this, although for totally different reasons. I use mint.com, the credit card sites, or just gcal with email reminders. I personally wouldn't use something like this -- why use something so specific, when a general tool that I currently use does the exact same thing?
Online Bill pay via my bank solves this problem for me. Unless you are targeting individuals that cannot get a bank account or do not want to get a bank account, what's the point? Unless you want to target creditors to automatically send emails to people that owe them money and are late. I know less about that market, but small businesses like chiropractors or dentists might be able to use that. But most people will just hate you.
