That's why I said "I". Personal tastes differ, but so do individual tolerance levels. My system will (as soon as I get around to actually finish setting it up) say something along the lines of "Hello. My spam protection system is unsure about your message. Since you're reading this, your email isn't spam ;-) -- please either sign your emails to me, or send a short confirmation to the address <my name>-abqux at <domain> so that and your mails will be whitelisted. Sorry about this, but there's no other way." I fail to see how a text like that can be called obnoxious, but that's just me. -- Matthias Urlichs | {M:U} IT Design @ m-u-it.de | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Disclaimer: The quote was selected randomly.
