His filter is misconfigured. I've been running a homegrown challenge/response system for some months with satisfactory results. There have been a very small number of people who were unable to figure out how to respond to the automated challenge, but I can live with that. There have been two or three spammers who ignored my warnings and responded to the challenge message. My response to them apparently convinced them not to repeat the error. ;-) I've just updated the system so it will check the In-Reply-To header of incoming messages to see if it matches the Message-ID header of any of the messages in my sent mail. This allows anyone to send a reply to me without being labeled as an "unknown sender". Tony -- Anthony E.
