One concern that comes to mind is the recent practice of taking email
addresses of popular posters to mailing lists and using them as the return
address for spam.

I know two people ([EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]) who have had
spammers use them as a return address recently. Both these people are in my
address book and would certainly be in any whitelist I created. But email
addresses are awfully easy to forge...

Perhaps whitelists (and especially auto whitelists) should have points set
by the GA... Certainly leaving them at -100 will let that kind of spam thru.
