I simply place tmda challenge addresses into my
/dev/null list and never
see the problem again. I treat it like spam.
And I consider it to be
spam. So "pfft" I make it gone.

I'm of the opposite thinking. I'd rather sort
through a bunch of spam everyday rather than miss
1 important message. If I miss 1 inquiry it could
cost me 1000s of dollars. Spam is an annoyance,
nothing more. There is no sense cutting off your
nose to spite your face.
People with challenge systems crack me up. They
wonder why they don't get their receipts when
they order things, or why they miss important
automated correspondence about their orders.
Spam I sort through. With SpamAssassin scoring it's easy to find
the low scores and concentrate on them. But somebody arrogant enough
to spam me with a challenge for a message to a mailing list ends
up on my procmail /dev/null rules. (I use fetchmail to grab mail
and procmail to feed it to /var/spool/mail/<name> with stops along
the way for SpamAssassin, ClamAv, and some random cleverness.)
